05/109 Matters
Arising
05/89.1 Joint Committee for Appointment of next
Deputy Vice-Chancellor
Council NOTED membership of the Joint Committee for the appointment of the next Deputy Vice-Chancellor as follows:
Sir Bryan Carsberg (Chair), Professor Shirley Pearce, Peter Haslehurst, Margaret Tomlinson, Professor Russ Bowman, Dr Marsha Meskimmon and Professor Peter Smith.
The Chairman drew Council’s attention to the fact that the guidelines (which were not binding on Council) for membership of such appointment committees called for the Vice-Chancellor to be a member but he had recommended that Professor Pearce should be a member instead of Professor Wallace because this made better sense in the circumstances. Council confirmed that it was content with this proposal.
COUN05-P101
The Deputy
Vice-Chancellor presented a progress report on departments declared in
structural deficit. Due process was
being followed for Chemistry and Computer Science as outlined in the agenda
paper. Operations Sub-Committee
anticipated that both PIRES and Physics would be removed from list after the
results of real-time funding were known.
05/111 Extension of
Appointments
Council NOTED that, on the recommendation
of the Vice-Chancellor (Chair of Senate), the Registrar (with delegated
authority) had APPROVED, in accordance with Statute XXII and Ordinance XII,
extensions of appointment beyond normal retirement date.
05/112 Staffing and Honorary Titles
COUN05-P102
Council
APPROVED staff appointments and NOTED Honorary Titles made since the previous
