One of 바카라사이트 UK’s longest-serving vice-chancellors and 바카라사이트 convenor of Universities Scotland has been suspended from his job.

二月 1, 2011

Bernard King, principal and vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Abertay Dundee, has been suspended by 바카라사이트 chair of 바카라사이트 institution’s court “pending investigation of a number of issues that have been brought to 바카라사이트 chair’s attention”, 바카라사이트 university said on 1 February.

It added that Nicholas Terry, vice-principal and deputy vice-chancellor, was suspended on 21 January “pending investigation of a number of issues”.

The university said that 바카라사이트 reasons for Professor Terry’s suspension “are separate from 바카라사이트 issues relating to 바카라사이트 principal’s suspension”.

Abertay Dundee has appointed Steve Olivier, pro vice-chancellor (academic development), as acting principal and vice-chancellor pending 바카라사이트 outcome of its enquiries.

It said arrangements had been put in place “to ensure that 바카라사이트 operations of 바카라사이트 university will remain as unaffected as possible”.

Professor King has been vice-chancellor of Abertay Dundee since 1992, and in recent months has been outspoken in his demands for additional funding for Scottish universities.

He has also been a vocal critic of 바카라사이트 decision to treble tuition fees in England.

An unnamed source told The Courier newspaper that Abertay Dundee was in “complete shock” following news of Professor King’s suspension.

“It is extremely surprising because Bernard is so well known. He is widely thought of as 바카라사이트 man who took a not particularly well thought of technical college and turned it into a very well thought of university,” 바카라사이트 source is quoted as saying.

David Currie, president of University of Abertay Dundee Students’ Association, said: “It is important that students are aware 바카라사이트re will be no impact to 바카라사이트 academic delivery of courses at 바카라사이트 institution and 바카라사이트 day-to-day running of 바카라사이트 university will continue as normal.

"I have complete confidence in 바카라사이트 procedures that have been put in place and have been liaising closely with 바카라사이트 acting principal to ensure 바카라사이트 student experience at Abertay will not be adversely affected.”
