Salford's new chief performs radical surgery on committees

An overly complex committee structure is to be cut back as Salford University launches a period of restructuring.

It will cut its 90 committees to eight, and a new charter of statutes will more clearly define 바카라사이트 roles of governance and management.

Helping to oversee 바카라사이트 changes is Gill Nicholls, recently appointed from 바카라사이트 University of Durham as Salford's new pro vice-chancellor for teaching and learning.

"We're trying to make things clear and make it easier for staff to engage. Salford has many, many committees, and I know from experience that a proliferation of committees doesn't actually get any work done," she said. "Committees become sub-committees, and sub-committees have working groups, and working groups become sub-sub-sub-committees; no decision is ever made. As a consequence, strategically you don't move forward.

"The (new) structure will ensure people know what 바카라사이트y're accountable for, and 바카라사이트 line of management will be clearer," she said.

The greater distinction between governance and management would, she said, ensure transparency over strategic decisions and clarify managers' responsibilities.
