According to recent research, 61% of core tutorial teaching at Oxford is delivered by those on precarious fixed-term contracts, raising concerns over pay and job security.
UCU's Jo Grady emphasized that it is "scandalous" that Oxford's prestigious tutorial system relies on low-paid tutors under Deliveroo-style contracts despite the university's vast endowments.
The data reveals that just 34% of tutorials are taught by permanent full-time professors, highlighting the reliance on hourly-paid and fixed-term staff for education.
Oxford's Christ Church college advertised a one-year lectureship for a salary that could result in an hourly pay rate below the legal minimum wage, raising alarm.
