A motion passed at a UCL Union “emergency members’ meeting” on 1 December says that “in taking up 바카라사이트 position of NHS commissioning board chair, Malcolm Grant is complicit in 바카라사이트 carving up of 바카라사이트 NHS as a public service”.
The motion had previously been passed by 바카라사이트 union’s council, which sent it on for wider approval at a members’ meeting.
It argues that Professor Grant has “a track record of actively undermining public services and public funding – including education – and has actively encouraged [tuition] fee rises behind closed doors”.
The no confidence motion, titled “Hands off 바카라사이트 NHS, hands off our education: Malcolm Grant has got to go”, is now UCL Union’s official policy.
Luke Durigan, UCL Union’s education and campaigns officer, said it was 바카라사이트 first time 바카라사이트 union had passed a motion of no confidence in a provost.
But 바카라사이트 motion will now go to an online “referendum” of students, as some were shut out of 바카라사이트 meeting owing to limited capacity at 바카라사이트 venue.
The union’s no confidence position could be overturned if a majority of students support Professor Grant in 바카라사이트 referendum.
A UCL spokesman said 바카라사이트 institution “encourages vigorous debate”.
“We don’t believe that this vote necessarily reflects majority opinion among 바카라사이트 student body at UCL – many students were unable to get into 바카라사이트 meeting, and UCL Union…is now in 바카라사이트 process of organising a vote that will enable all students to express a view.”
In 바카라사이트 vote, 160 students voted no confidence in Professor Grant, 86 confidence and 28 abstained.
Professor Grant will work as NHS commissioning board chair for two days a week and give 바카라사이트 ?63,000 annual salary to UCL, while remaining in his UCL post on a full salary.
His UCL salary, benefits and pension contributions came to ?337,655 in 2010-11, according to 바카라사이트 institution’s accounts, down from ?365,131 바카라사이트 previous year.
The UCL Union motion says it is “inappropriate for Grant to hold 바카라사이트 position of provost and 바카라사이트 position of NHS commissioning board chair, and that this is inconsistent with a full-time commitment to our university”.
The college’s spokesman said that as “an institution at 바카라사이트 forefront of UK medicine”, UCL must “lead 바카라사이트 development and implementation of national healthcare policy”.
He added that Professor Grant’s NHS role “is part of our institution’s national commitment and warmly supported by 바카라사이트 university’s senior management team”.
