abstract:The Association of University Teachers (AUT) was the trade union and professional association that represented academic (teaching and research) and academic-related (librarians, IT professionals and senior administrators) staff at pre-1992 universities in the United Kingdom. The final general secretary of AUT was Sally Hunt.
The drop-out rates have also divided lecturers and university chiefs, with the AssociationofUniversityTeachers describing the highest drop-out rates as "astronomical" and a waste of public funds.
The AssociationofUniversityTeachers (AUT) believes that cuts being considered by the school of medicine at Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine in London will damage the quality of teaching.
