A trade union representing university lecturers has expressed concern that some universities may be bowing to commercial concerns and "overpromising" students as to the amount of time they will be able to spend on campus and in face-to-face learning come September.
The warning comes as UCD became the second university this week to outline the broad details of its 'blended learning' approach for autumn reopening.
UCD says it hopes to make campus life for students as normal as possible. It says it is looking at between 40% to 60% of teaching to be delivered 'face-to-face' for undergraduates, with that rising to between 75% to 100% for graduate students.
