According to a report on 바카라사이트 BBC’s website, senior managers commissioned respected furniture designer John Makepeace to produce 바카라사이트 handcrafted chairs, despite 바카라사이트 university’s PR department warning that it could cause reputational damage.
David Coslett, Plymouth’s deputy vice-chancellor, said 바카라사이트 commissioning of new graduation furniture was “바카라사이트 next stage in 바카라사이트 development of our graduation ceremonies”, which he said attracted more than 25,000 students and guests to 바카라사이트 city, injecting “around ?700,000 worth of additional tourism income” into 바카라사이트 local economy.
“While 바카라사이트 detailed process of commissioning 바카라사이트 graduation furniture continues and commercial discussions with third parties are ongoing, 바카라사이트 university’s intention will be to fund this legacy project externally through private donations and charitable foundations,” he said.
“Ultimately, this is not about ‘chairs’ but a collection of contemporary design pieces by one of 바카라사이트 world’s leading furniture designers.”
He added that even before launching 바카라사이트 project publicly, 바카라사이트 works had “attracted 바카라사이트 attention of one major museum which is interested in adding to its contemporary design collection”.
It is 바카라사이트 latest controversy to hit 바카라사이트 institution in recent weeks. Last month, William Taylor, 바카라사이트 retired judge who chairs Plymouth’s board of governors, announced that he had initiated an independent investigation into claims that he had sexually harassed female staff, which he denies. Mr Taylor has stepped aside pending 바카라사이트 outcome of 바카라사이트 investigation.
The crisis at Plymouth has been deepening since 1 July, when it emerged that Wendy Purcell, 바카라사이트 university’s vice-chancellor,?had been “placed on leave”?by Mr Taylor and 바카라사이트 board of governors. It is now known that Professor Purcell was initially suspended, but her status has since changed and she is currently on paid leave.
