There is a great deal of precarious employment now at university level. Following the Cush report, universities had undertaken to ensure that following a duration of employment of two years, contracts would be provided. In the context of lecturing that is done by people who are part-time on the dole, this is a subsidy to the universities and it is not the way to proceed regarding the amount of research time that should be devoted to delivering lectures to students. Is DIT in compliance with the Cush report?
