Members of Brunel UCU are currently (as of 6th May 2025 which is the start of the May assessment period at Brunel, until the end of our mandate 11th August 2025) engaged in a Marking and Assessment Boycott (MAB).

This boycott calls on our members to cease undertaking all summative marking and associated assessment activities/duties for students/learners, whether final (i.e. graduation/completion) or interim (i.e. progression). The boycott also covers assessment-related work such as exam invigilation and the processing of marks.
