We would like to wish all our members and subscribers a very Happy New Year!
One highlight of last year was the launch of our Code of Ethical University Governance, written by Professor Steven Jones, a member of our Executive Committee.
Professor Jones launched the Code at a successful event at the House of Commons on 8 December (pictured above). There was a broad rage of attendees from across the academic sector and the press. The publication of the Code went hand-in-hand with an Influencing Corridors of Power (ICOP) briefing and a HEPI policy note.
You can read more about the CDBU’s work on Governance and the media coverage which followed the Code’s publication on our dedicated campaign page.
We would also like to take this opportunity to kindly remind our members and followers that we welcome pitches for the CDBU blog! You can find our style guide here.
