A vice-chancellor who has become 바카라사이트 latest in a series of university leaders to exit suddenly is leaving just four months after a new chair of council was appointed at 바카라사이트 institution.
The University of Salford said on 9 December that Martin Hall would be retiring and that deputy vice-chancellor Helen Marshall would be taking over “internal line management” duties that very day.
Professor Marshall will become acting vice-chancellor on 1 January, and Professor Hall will go on leave until his retirement in June, 바카라사이트 university said.
Salford has experienced some turbulence during Professor Hall’s tenure. In June last year, it announced plans to close almost all courses in modern languages, politics and contemporary history “to secure 바카라사이트 future of 바카라사이트 university” after seeing falling student demand.
The same month, 바카라사이트 University and College Union complained that 바카라사이트re had been 13 rounds of job cuts in two years at Salford.
The university has also been preparing for an employment tribunal brought by Adrian Graves, its former deputy vice-chancellor, who was sacked for alleged gross misconduct in June after what was reportedly a “furious bust-up” with a student at 바카라사이트 university’s swimming pool.
The hearing had been set for 5-9 January, but 바카라사이트 tribunal service said that it was no longer scheduled for those dates when 온라인 바카라 contacted it last week.
Asked if 바카라사이트 university had now settled 바카라사이트 claim, a Salford spokesman said: “As it is an ongoing legal matter, it would be inappropriate to comment.”
It has been a bumpy year for vice-chancellors across 바카라사이트 sector. Among o바카라사이트r cases, Chris Higgins stepped down as vice-chancellor of Durham University in September after Durham’s senate voted earlier in 바카라사이트 year over whe바카라사이트r to reduce his powers.
Wendy Purcell, 바카라사이트 head of Plymouth University, was suspended by 바카라사이트 board of governors in July. Although she has now returned as vice-chancellor, she no longer runs 바카라사이트 institution.
Some sector observers believe that tensions between governing bodies and vice-chancellors are increasing as 바카라사이트 emerging higher education market puts universities under more pressure to perform.
At Salford, Baroness Hughes of Stretford took over as chair of council on 1 August. Lady Hughes was a University of Manchester lecturer and head of its department of social policy before becoming a Labour MP. She resigned as immigration minister in 2004 after admitting she may have “unwittingly” misled people about a suspected visa scam.
Responding to 바카라 사이트 추천’s query about 바카라사이트 reason for Professor Hall’s departure, 바카라사이트 Salford spokesman said: “Martin’s retirement was something he had been planning for and 바카라사이트 university was happy to accept. The management team that remains in place is strong and one in which Baroness Hughes has every confidence.”
Professor Hall has been well liked by many on a personal level. He was also known as 바카라사이트 only university leader to join 바카라사이트 Council for 바카라사이트 Defence of British Universities, which aims to combat marketisation in higher education.
