Abstract
This report commences by asking what we can tell from the data that are collected about academic and other staff in higher education institutions in the UK. It then examines some of the major medium term trends, followed by an assessment of some more recent, short-term developments. The report focuses in particular on academics on teaching-only contracts and in teaching-focused roles, the various routes into them, and the possible reasons for these developments. It suggests that these shifts may be storing up problems for the continuing attractiveness of academic work and careers and argues for a reinvigoration of professionalism and professional identity in the sector.
