Brief description of the paper 

Academic Standards Committee (ASC) had noted an increase in the number of issues reported in Periodic Subject Reviews (PSR) that related to Graduate Teaching Assistants. The Deans (Learning and Teaching and Graduate Studies) were asked to meet to explore these further and to see if there were any issues that could be addressed at an institutional level. The group met twice (9 April and 22 June), the second time including colleagues from HR and the Learning and Teaching Centre. A summary of points from these meetings is appended.
