LEAD - FASOS

LEAD stands for Leadership for an Equitable Academic Democracy, and democracy is an important component to our approach to service. We seek democratically elected seats and thus strive, ourselves, to be representative: LEAD is composed of both Academic (WP) and Support (OBP) staff, spanning all FASOS departments and connecting with many research groups and centres. We make a point to engage with staff members at diverse career stages and with diverse concerns about their career trajectories. As a non-political party present in both Faculty and University Council, we are networked across the whole of the UM, enabling us to gather information on how issues we experience at FASOS are being handled elsewhere – both in what we can improve and what example we can set. Most importantly, we pledge to be democratically engaged by being open for consultation in these times of increasing uncertainty, and to pursue just, fair  and sustainable outcomes for all our colleagues.
