The Vice-Chancellor welcomed new members.

04/109 Business of the Agenda

Item 20 had been unstarred.

04/110 Minutes

It was RESOLVED to confirm and sign the Minutes of the 368^th meeting held on 23 June 2004 (SEN04-M5).

04/111 Matters Arising from the Minutes

.1 Minute 04/62 – New Regulation XIX: Hall Committees

It was noted that the Vice-Chancellor had approved revisions to Regulation XIX, which was now available on the web site at:

http://www.lboro.ac.uk/admin/ar/calendar/regulations/reg19.htm

.2 Minute 04/64- Departmental Student Representatives

The LSU President reported that training sessions for Departmental Student Representatives had been undertaken and representatives were to be added to Union Council and Academic Affairs Committee Membership. Heads of Department had been very co-operative in the new process of seeking representatives, though vacancies remained in three departments. The Vice-Chancellor welcomed the higher profile for academic work this would achieve in LSU and requested that the departments without representatives act promptly to resolve the situation. He advised that the representatives’ role would need to mesh strongly with that of societies in departments such as Chemical Engineering.

.3 Minute 04/67: New Structure for Academic Regulations and Discretion for Undergraduate Programme Boards

A member drew attention to the inefficiency of the need imposed by GRUA/ARUA for staff to set resit papers for the Special Assessment Period even though there might be no students re-sitting in SAP. Senate was reminded that modules could exclude the possibility of SAP resits and that unused resit papers could be used at a future date. The Academic Registrar reported that further revisions to GRUA/ARUA and GRMPA/ARMPA would come forward during the year and the issue of resits would be one for further debate as part of those revisions.

04/112 Matters for Report by the Vice-Chancellor

.1 The Sunday Times League Table

The Vice-Chancellor reported on the University’s 13^th equal position in The Sunday Times 2004 League Table. This was a pleasing outcome and all should be congratulated, but there should be no complacency. Key in the University’s strategy was the goal for a position in the top 10 UK universities and for this there would need to be investment in quality research staff.

.2 THES World Rankings

The University had not featured in a list of the top 500 international universities produced in China, which reflected performance indicators such as the award of Nobel Prizes, nor in a world ranking of universities undertaken by Martin Ince for the THES, based largely on peer views and citations. The University was disadvantaged in such an analysis by not being located in a well-known city and there was no globally agreed measure of teaching quality for the compilation of such tables. The Vice-Chancellor intended to make contact again with Martin Ince with information on the University including the outcome of a survey of potential students attending the University’s Open Day on the influences on their choice of University. It was important that the University continued to have ambitious aspirations for its long term future.

ACTION: Vice-Chancellor

.3 Marketing Team

The Vice-Chancellor reported on the Marketing Team which was being established under the leadership of the Director of External Relations.

.4 HEFCE Support for Shortage Subject Departments

The Vice-Chancellor had contacted HEFCE concerning the report in the THES that special support would only be provided to shortage subject departments with a 5/5* research rating. He had been reassured that HEFCE had no policy to this effect and was awaiting government guidance before taking any decisions on the issue. He had advised HEFCE that any rationale for special support should be based on indicators which mattered to students, and drew attention to the University’s recruitment statistics in the Science and Engineering Faculties, which had successfully met business planning targets.

04/113 Matters for Report by the Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Research)

SEN04-P82

.1 New Research Grants and Contracts

The Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research) reported that new research grants and contracts had totalled £27.3M for 2003-04, a £2M increase on the previous year. Recent increases in income appeared to be in line with key University competitors. New grants and contracts had exceptionally reached over £12M in the first quarter of 2004-05, assisted by two large grants.

SEN04-P83

.2 Research Grants and Contracts Applications

Applications for the first quarter of 2004-05 were on a par with the previous year.

.3 HEFCE Research Performance Indicators 2004

The University had improved in each of the performance measures and had returned to first position in terms of research grants and contracts per academic staff cost. It was commented that that indicator could be interpreted as the University not having enough staff and that the SSR would need to improve if the University’s research income was to increase further, particularly for smaller departments where administrative tasks fell on a small pool of staff. It was important to progress the release of staff time for research and to focus on improvement in the quality of research applications.

SEN04-P84

.4 Improving the Quality of Research Applications

Senate received a discussion paper from the Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research) on improving the quality of research applications. He emphasised the importance of good quality applications not only in terms of eventual success but also in terms of reputation and peer esteem, which would be important for the RAE. Senate was asked whether a section on the RX2 form concerning whether an application had been reviewed by a colleague was a suitable way forward. The following views were amongst those aired:

· There was a trade-off between the quality and quantity of applications. Quality should be the most important. There was also an important balance between time spent on applications and writing for publication.

· The position might have reached a plateau until more staff were available to submit applications.

· Work was underway to assist staff in completing ESRC applications.

· Excessive bureaucracy should be avoided. Departments should be encouraged to establish mentoring systems and make clear in annual strategy plans how this was being achieved.

· A signature on the RX2 form as evidence of a mentoring process in the department appropriate to the discipline would be acceptable and could be helpful to HoDs.

· Last-minute applications from staff were problematic. A mentoring system with its own deadlines would help to avoid this.

· Completion of the proposed mentoring box should not stop the submission of a last-minute application. A culture change would gradually develop when the advantages of mentoring were seen.

· Mentors should receive drafts of applications rather than the intended final product.

· Unsuccessful proposals should be reviewed carefully before resubmission and should not necessarily be regarded as a waste of time.

The Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research) would take Senate’s comments to Research Team and proposals would then be brought forward to Directorates.

ACTION: PVC(R)

04/114 Matters for Report by the Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Teaching)

SEN04-P85

.1 Student Recruitment

Senate received a report on the 2004 student intake and a tabled paper of registrations as at 19 November 2004. The Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Teaching) reported that UK/EU undergraduate recruitment had been good across all Faculties. Departments would be tightening their offers to avoid over-recruitment in 2005. It was suggested that both Chemistry and Mathematical Sciences had suffered from the early withdrawal from clearing but it was noted that both had exceeded their intake targets. Following a query, Senate was advised that the Approved Business Planning figures were target numbers for the beginning of October. Attrition was then allowed for in the population model and Business Plans were based on student load not simply registrations. An outline of how the model operated would be circulated to Senate members.
ACTION: Academic Registrar, JEME

The PVC(T) reported that UK/EU PGT recruitment was on target and international UG recruitment slightly below target.

There had been an unexpected outcome to international PGT recruitment. Applications and offers had increased but there was an 18% shortfall in intake against target, and a reduction of 10% compared to intake last year, the reasons for which had been presented in the report. Senate’s attention was also drawn to the additional factor of the weakening dollar.

A member commented on the proposal from the International Office to introduce a Compulsory Deposit Scheme for applicants from certain countries. Senate was advised that the University was one of only a few throughout the world which did not impose such a deposit, which was intended to reduce frivolous and fraudulent applications. The University’s agents were also pressing for a deposit scheme to assist the visa application process. Senate ENDORSED the Compulsory Deposit Scheme and was willing to endorse the expertise of the International Office in setting an appropriate amount. The Director of the International Office would be in a better position shortly to advise Senate whether the fall in international recruitment was likely to be a temporary one or a trend. He asked HoDs to encourage Admissions Tutors to offer scholarships when making offers.
ACTION: HoDs

.2 Teaching Quality Information: National Student Survey

The National Student Survey would be conducted electronically with finalists in early February 2005. Results would be available on the TQI web site in August 2005 and were likely to replace ESR scores in the compilation of league tables. All the University’s finalists had received details of the survey and the opportunity to opt-out, which no student had yet done. The University had received information on promotional material to raise student awareness.

.3 HEFCE Centres of Excellence in Teaching and Learning

The outcome of the University’s two bids would be known in January 2005.

.4 HEFCE Performance Indicators 2004

The indicators, based on data for 2002/03, showed the University to have performed well against the benchmarks for retention and progression, but slightly below benchmarks in relation to access, though the difference was not statistically significant.

04/115 Matters for Report by the Director of Business Partnerships, Innovation and Knowledge Transfer

SEN04-P86

Senate received a report from the Director of Business Partnerships, Innovation and Knowledge Transfer.

04/116 Tuition Fees Strategy Group

SEN04-P87

Senate received a progress report from the Group, together with a timetable for key decisions concerning the OFFA Agreement. OFFA guidance on producing Access Agreements had been received. The University’s draft submission, incorporating intended investment in bursaries, outreach activities and bursary administration and financial advice, the costs offset against extra income from tuition fees, would be submitted to Operations Sub-Committee (Budgetary Review) the following week and subsequently to OFFA for initial feedback. Senate would receive the final draft at its meeting on 15 December 2004. Marketing Strategy would be focussed on matters that were most important to students and work was underway to identify these. The view was expressed that marketing should reflect the breadth of the University’s activities and should not focus only on sport. It was commented that the University’s OFFA Agreement would be a public document and therefore an important marketing tool.

Senate was advised that all students would be treated equally in terms of bursaries, which would be means-tested. Students might need encouragement to undertake 4/5 year Master’s programmes or shortage disciplines and Departments/Faculties might consider scholarships to aid this. The position of students on some non-standard programmes still needed consideration, such as those undertaking one semester overseas.

04/117 Strategic Review

.1 Further to Minute 04/87 of Senate’s 369^th (Special) meeting on 23 June 2004, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor reminded Senate that the driver behind the recommendations on Academic Organisation was to achieve international quality and esteem and consolidate the University’s position in the top ten of UK universities. This would require a flexible framework enabling the University to be forward-looking. At its last meeting, Senate had approved the overall thrust of the recommendations. Council had also endorsed the approach and working groups had been established to progress matters. The main developments so far had been:

Recommendation 1 – That Cross-Faculty Research Schools to be established. It was expected that two Schools would be achieved by the end of the academic year. A ‘virtual’ Research School in healthcare was under development led by Professor David Williams from Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering and the planning process aimed to develop a model for management of Research Schools more generally in the future.

Recommendation 2 - That generic Terms of Reference etc. be drafted with respect to the post of the Director of Research School; that the post of Director be approved. This recommendation was subsumed under Recommendation 1.

Recommendation 3 – That additional academic (and other) staff be appointed over the period 2005/07, reflecting and supporting the proposed Research Schools. This matter was high on every agenda.

Recommendation 4 - That a Graduate School be established. The Working Group developing the SSH Graduate School had been augmented to include the ADRs from the other Faculties, with the aim of developing a University-wide Graduate School for all PGR and PGT students. The SSH elements were the most developed but it was intended that the initial stages of the overall framework would be in place by October 2005. It was AGREED that the Working Group minutes should continue to be received by all Directorates.

ACTION: Dean of SSH

Recommendation 5- That the support infrastructure for PGR and PGT students

be further developed.

Recommendation 6 – That the support infrastructure for international students be further developed. These recommendations were currently under consideration within the Academic Registry. A new build for a ‘one-stop shop’ for international students now seemed unlikely but developments were likely in the co-ordination and visibility of services.

Recommendation 7 – That the three Faculties remain; that the Directorates remain; that the Faculty Boards be discontinued; and that General Assembly be strengthened. There was a good case for retaining Faculties and Directorates. A change in the membership of Faculties would become more compelling should SSH continue to grow. The position of Faculty Boards would be considered as part of the review of committees, on which Senate would receive a report at its next meeting. A member suggested that it might be more efficient if Directorates followed on after Faculty Board meetings. Members were asked to forward any other comments on committees to the Academic Registrar as soon as possible.

ACTION: Members of Senate

Recommendation 8 – That the departmental membership of the Faculties be further considered; that SSES become a member of the Science Faculty.

The move of SSES was not being pursued at the present time. There was a case for part of SSES and the Science Faculty being related, which might be achieved through a Research School.

Recommendation 9 – That the system of honoraria and reward reviews be reviewed (taking into account, also, the introduction of Research and Graduate Schools).

Recommendation 10 – That Schools, each based on two/three Departments, be introduced as and when possible. The establishment of Schools was likely to be events driven in particular cases. Strategic leadership and management was considered to be more achievable for Schools than for 22 Departments. It was commented that the rewards for management positions in the University should be reviewed to encourage staff to take on such roles and that the financial position of non-professorial Heads was anomalous. Senate was advised that the Remuneration Committee was currently undertaking a review of honoraria, which would be fed into the Strategic Review Group’s deliberations.

Recommendation 11 – That the roles, duties and responsibilities of the VC, the DVC, the PVCs, the Deans, ADs and the HoDs be reviewed. Human Resources Working Group would report in due course.

Recommendation 12 – That a Structure to support Development Fund Raising (towards the advancement of the University) be put in place. Arrangements were now in the process of implementation.

.2 The Deputy Vice-Chancellor reported on the recent meeting of Council that had considered the strategic development of the University. He advised Senate, as preface, that Public Relations aspects, which included commercially-sensitive matters, were being managed by the University’s Public Relations staff: it was important that confidentiality be observed in order to protect the University’s interests and to keep the University’s neighbours properly informed.

The consultancy, GVA Grimley, was working with the Estates Strategy Review Group (ESRG) on the current capacity building stage of the strategic review of the estate. Their presentation to Council had taken account of a number of requisites that had been established in discussion with ESRG:

· The existing campus accommodation was already over-stretched, and much of it was already full to and beyond capacity as well as, in some places, well below acceptable standards;

· Estate strategy would address the entire campus as an integral whole, including currently occupied space, recently acquired space, and potential future acquisitions;

· Current proposals for growth in core activities would require up to an additional 70,000 sq m;

· Strategy for space recognised the University’s commitments to enhance its research activity and capacity; to improve staffing levels as affordable; to restrict further growth in UK/EU undergraduate numbers; to seek to increase postgraduate and especially PGR numbers; and to consider the need to shift the balance of residential accommodation for students generally from town to campus;

· Some space would be required for enhancement of sports facilities.

The nature of the connections between the University and a proposed second Science Park, to be located within the region of Charnwood Borough Council (CBC), was also pertinent in any planning and development scenarios. It had been assumed that land allocations for such a Park, in accordance with Regional Planning Guidance, would be addressed within CBC’s 2005 Local Development Framework (LDF). It was noted that CBC had recently accelerated its processes for arriving at a new LDF. A submission would be required from the University by the end of January 2005 for inclusion in the LDF consultation process. It was crucial that the University’s submission expressed, in high-level strategic terms, its future land usage and needs: once the LDF was confirmed in its land usage allocations, it would influence, via planning applications to CBC, the University’s development for some years. It was envisaged that the LDF would have a planning horizon of 2016.

Subsequent to Council’s endorsement, which was given, two capacity appraisals would be developed by GVA Grimley and ESRG. In one of these, a greater density of redevelopment of the ‘original campus’ (ie, excluding Holywell Park) would be examined; and, in both, a more modest growth of students numbers, the changing profile of the student population, and the need to increase staff in order to grow research activity. The data sets and briefing documents emanating from the development of the two capacity appraisals would form the bases for the University’s submission to the LDF consultation. The CBC’s timescale for this was short: GVA Grimley, working with ESRG and a firm of masterplanners, would develop the submission, and GVA Grimley would continue to support the University with planning guidance. The submission would now be the immediate objective of ESRG.

It was noted that, thus far, the estates strategy review had covered the following: a review of existing use of the estate; consultation with Faculties, Departments and Sections, some senior officers and lay members, to determine the future thrust of the University; completion of the East Park masterplan (and its submission to CBC as a Supplementary Planning Document); identification of and preliminary negotiations with landowners and other interested parties; a property market analysis; a demand study for a Science Park; a preliminary environmental impact study of Holywell Park. Further legal and specific planning advice would be required, together with, in due course, a full environmental impact assessment and a transport impact assessment.

With regard to the proposed Science Park, it was noted that its specific intellectual ‘centre of gravity’ and attraction would hover above Holywell Park, and affirmed that the entire University was research-led and that much high-quality research was spread across the entire campus.

Finally, it was noted that the Strategic Review Working Group (SRWG), working in conjunction with Space Management Group (SMG), would now be addressing immediate space needs in the context of the reviews of both the academic organisation of the University and estates.

SEN04-P100

Noted.

04/128 Accessibility at Loughborough University

SEN04-P101

.1 Further to Minute 04/29 of Senate’s 366^th meeting on 3 March 2004, Senate received a report from the Director of Estates Services on how priorities were being set and on action being taken. A member commented that reference to the Disability Discrimination Act Part 3, which became law on 1 October 2004 and placed additional legal responsibilities on the University, was missing from the report, which was produced only from an Estates perspective. Those with disabilities in a changing population did not appear to be central to the process of prioritising accessibility issues within the University and the quality of the access audits should be questioned. A regular survey of the needs of a changing population was required. The paper did not address the lack of co-ordination between other aspects of accessibility such as Media Services and Computing Services in terms of maps and other information, web sites or lecture theatres. Commitment and leadership at Executive Management level on all aspects of accessibility and its co-ordination was needed, and with such a commitment this potential threat could be turned into an opportunity for the University to be seen as a beacon of good practice in relation to accessibility issues.

.2 Senate was assured that the University did take these matters seriously and the member was advised of the Disabled Staff Group, recently strengthened, and other areas of support. The paper, as produced by the Estates Services, would naturally be from an Estates perspective. Access maps were in hand and a bid had been submitted by Estates for additional funding to complete identified work. There was a case, however, for improvement of co-ordination on accessibility, greater involvement by staff and students with disabilities, and a review of operational and managerial aspects, and these would be explored.

ACTION: DVC

04/129 Librarian’s Annual Report 2003/04

SEN04-P102

Senate noted the Annual Report for 2003/04 from the Librarian.

04/130 Director of Registry Services: Change of Title

It was noted that the Vice-Chancellor had agreed that the title of the post of Director of Registry Services be revised to Academic Registrar with effect from 1 July 2004. References to the post in Ordinances and Regulations had been revised accordingly.

04/131 QAA Audit Report

It was noted that the University’s QAA Audit Report could be found on the QAA web site at:

http://www.qaa.ac.uk/revreps/instrev/loughborough2004/summary.htm

The report would be considered by other University bodies in the first instance.

04/132 Higher Education Academy (HEA) Accreditation

It was noted that in July 2004 an HEA Accreditation Team visited the University to review Loughborough’s pathway to what used to be ILTHE Membership. The Team had recommended that the New Lecturers’ Programme be accredited as a pathway until 2009 and that a new Associateship pathway be similarly approved subject to HEA scrutiny of the new documentation.

04/133 QAA Special Review of Foundation Degrees 2004/05

It was noted that the following programmes delivered by Loughborough College and leading to Foundation Degrees awarded by the University had been selected by QAA to be included in a sample of FDs to be reviewed during 2004/05:
