The EAUC is a Member-led organisation. We represent you, and ensure that your views on topical issues are conveyed to the rest of the sector and to the Government. One important way we can do this is by responding to consultations from the Government and other organisations.
The EAUC has been lobbying with other organisations in the English Learning and Sustainability Alliance (ELSA) to include a reference to sustainable development in the Grant Letter from BIS to HEFCE. This had been left out in 2014 and there was concern it would send out the wrong message to universities.
We're delighted to report that the 2015-16 letter that was issued on 29/1/15 by Vince Cable now has the following reference:
‘We welcome the publication of the HEFCE sustainable development framework and HEFCE’s continuing role in facilitating the sharing of good practice on sustainable development. We note the HE sector’s performance and look to the sector to continue improvements in this area.’
Hopefully Members can use this to press their institution to up its game on Sustainable Development in the next academic year.
