In accordance with the second resolution of the amended motion presented at the December EGM (Motion EGM1224_01) and subsequently passed by members via digital vote, CCCU UCU have launched a vote of No Confidence in the Vice Chancellor (VC), Senior Management Team (SMT), and Board of Governors.

The vote was launched in the CCCU UCU Branch Meeting on Wednesday 12th March and will run until 1700 on Monday 31st March 2025. The vote is open to any staff or student at Canterbury Christ Church University and you will need to enter your CCCU email address to vote, and subsequently verify this email address once you receive a verification email for your vote to be counted. Non-verified, duplicate votes, and votes cast with a non-CCCU email will not be counted.

The vote is hosted by UCU via the national campaigns team so CCCU management will not see your email address or know whether or how you have voted.

There is some background information and then you will be asked:
Do you have confidence in Canterbury Christ Church University’s vice chancellor, senior management team and board of governors’ ability to effectively and responsibly oversee the current financial and strategic operations of Canterbury Christ Church University?

As a reminder, CCCU UCU is currently in dispute with CCCU over failure to rule out compulsory redundancies (CR) in this academic year, 2024-25, and next academic year 2025-26). CCCU has not ruled out CR, nor committed to launching an Enhanced Voluntary Redundancy scheme alongside the TCP consultations, despite repeated requests from CCCU UCU.
