Academic Career and Reward Framework

Governance

The Academic Career and Reward Framework Steering Group provides steering and oversight for the project. This group reports to University committees (People, Education, Research, Planning and Resource Allocation) and Council and to the Conference of Colleges. Members share relevant outputs from the workstreams with those groups.

Steering Group membership

Members of the Steering Group are responsible for providing input to the different project workstreams, acting as a sounding board for the project as it develops, and championing the project in their own parts of the collegiate University to engage colleagues with the project.
