Policy Development
LUCAF develops recommendations relating to academic freedom and respond to relevant consultations.
If you wish to be involved in this work, please inform us of your areas of interest when you register. You can update this information at any time by logging into our website, so if you have already registered and want to get involved further, please log in and update this information.
We will use this information to identify members who can contribute to the initial development of our recommendations and consultation responses. Once drafts have been developed and approved by the LUCAF founder members, we will publish them on the LUCAF website so that all members have a chance to respond. This feedback will be used to prepare final versions of any statements or advice before final approval by the LUCAF founder members. The final versions will then be published on the LUCAF website.
We are currently developing policy in the following areas:
- Guidance for universities on how best to support academic freedom in light of the Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Act 2023.
- A response to the Jisc consultation on People, Culture and Environment in REF 2028
