Welcome to the CUCD web site at Royal Holloway, University of London. These pages are maintained by Nick Lowe, to whom any inquiries should be addressed.
The Council of University Classical Departments is the professional forum for all teachers of classical Greek and Roman subjects in British Universities. It has four meetings annually: three meetings of the Standing Committee, and a plenary Council meeting in November, at which all UK Classics Departments (and remnants thereof) are represented (see the constitution, and "Contacts, Representatives, and Member Institutions" below). As well as serving as a voice for classical teachers in higher education on matters of academic and professional significance, CUCD collects annual statistics on students numbers in UK classical degree programmes, and publishes the CUCD Bulletin, which is available on-line from volume 24 (1995), and continues to appear in hard copy at the time of the annual Council meeting.
The CUCD site also hosts:
Note that the on-line edition of Classicists in British Universities, published by the Classical Association, is now hosted on the Classical Association site.
A CUCD Contact is the HoD, the Chairman of Faculty (for Oxford and Cambridge), or an individual expressly nominated by a HoD for a particular academic year. CUCD will keep a list of names/addresses for Contacts. CUCD will send mailings to "Head of Department" or "Chairman of Faculty" in the cases of Oxford and Cambridge. But if a HoD would like CUCD mailings to be sent to one of his/her staff for any given year, this can be arranged in response to either a letter or an email to the secretary. At the end of that year, if no further request is received for the arrangement to continue, CUCD will revert to the default position of sending information to the HoD/Chairman. Whenever a mailing is sent to departmental contacts, a note of its subject will be sent to the mailing list classicists@listserv.liv.ac.uk, to help ensure that staff members in departments will be aware that their contact will be receiving it. (To subscribe to this list, send the message "SUBSCRIBE CLASSICISTS ‹your name&rsaquo" to listserv@listserv.liv.ac.uk. No subject line is needed.)
A CUCD representative is a person chosen to represent a department at CUCD Annual Council in November. The choice of representative is entirely a matter for departments, often depending on practical considerations of who is actually able to attend. CUCD will not therefore keep a list of their names and addresses, and it will be for the contact to ensure that relevant documentation is passed on to the representative.
These procedures were proposed to Council by Standing Committee and agreed at the November 2000 Council meeting.
