UNIVERSITY and college lecturers in Scotland are to lobby Holyrood tomorrow to support changes in the way Scottish universities are run.
Education union UCU says more and more university principals are facing criticism over pay rises, lack of transparency and excessive expenses.
It wants to see universities made more democratic, representative and transparent, with elected chairs of governing bodies which should include students and trade union nominees.
