Colin Shipp, Director of Human Resources, wrote to all academic staff on 25 August. You can read the full text of his email below.
Dear Colleague,
Further to my email of 2 August, I am writing to remind colleagues who took part in the marking and assessment boycott in the A3 (resit) assessment period to declare your participation via self declaration as soon as possible, and no later than Friday 1 September 2023. As you will be aware from our previous communication the University does not accept partial performance.
Participation in the marking and assessment boycott for the A3 assessment period must be declared separately, even if you have already made a declaration for the A2 period.
Those who want to end their participation in the boycott should inform their Head of School and email Human Resources via: IAqueries@sussex.ac.uk.
Colleagues taking part in the marking and assessment boycott during the A3 period will have salary deductions capped at 10 days at 25%. This means the maximum deduction any participant will face will equate to an effective deduction of 2.5 days’ salary.
Further information is available on our Industrial Action webpages, which include FAQs and a full glossary of terms.
Kind regards,
Colin Shipp
Director of HR
