The Council of University Classical Departments (CUCD), founded in 1969, is the association of university departments in the United Kingdom in which Classics (the study of Greek and Roman antiquity) and related subjects are taught and researched.〔http://www.rhul.ac.uk/classics/cucd/〕 As such, it is one of the principal voices of Classics in the UK (alongside others such as the Classical Association, the Joint Association of Classical Teachers, and Friends of Classics), and the only one with a distinctive focus on Higher Education. The Council is composed of a Representative of each member institution (there are currently 29), and normally meets once a year in November in London.〔See http://www.rhul.ac.uk/classics/cucd/#About for Council minutes since 2001.〕 The Standing Committee, with a membership of around 18, normally meets three times a year in London.〔See http://www.rhul.ac.uk/classics/cucd/#About for Standing Committee minutes since 2000.〕 The Council has published an annual ''Bulletin'' since 1972.〔See http://www.rhul.ac.uk/classics/cucd/bulletin.html for the text of the ''Bulletins'' since 1995; and http://www.rhul.ac.uk/classics/cucd/contents.html for an index of contents up to 2005.〕 In recent years CUCD has been increasingly active in defending and advancing the position of Classics in the UK. On 17 March 2005 the Council, together with Friends of Classics, hosted a reception for parliamentarians and others in the Palace of Westminster, to promote the cause of classical subjects.〔''CUCD Bulletin'', 34 (2005), 19-20.〕 CUCD maintains strong links with other Arts, Humanities, and Law subject associations, as well as with the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Classics. The present chair, Robin Osborne, has more than once spoken for the concerns of Humanities subjects in general.〔See e.g. ''The Times Higher'', 19 Mar. 2008 (http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/story.asp?sectioncode=26&storycode=401166).〕 ==Present and past chairs of CUCD== (As recorded in the ''Bulletin''; earliest years not recorded there.) 2006–12 Prof. R.
