Dear Mr Walton,
Our Human Resources department have asked me to seek confirmation from you as follows;

'can you clarify what the requestor means by ‘academic’? Do they mean purely Lecturers and Senior Lecturers or do they want Research staff included too?'

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards
