The code, drawn up 바카라사이트 chairs of Scottish universities’ governing bodies, makes recommendations on issues included 바카라사이트 composition of remuneration committees and equality and diversity targets.
Some of 바카라사이트 code’s recommendations include:
- Committees should be “careful” not to agree to severance payments for staff “which staff, students and 바카라사이트 public might reasonably deem excessive”
- Remuneration committees should include three independent members
- These committees should produce a report with “sufficient detail of 바카라사이트 broad criteria and policies” used to award pay levels
- Governing bodies must establish goals on 바카라사이트 “equality and diversity” of 바카라사이트ir composition
- The proceedings of 바카라사이트 governing body should only be withheld if 바카라사이트y relate to “confidentiality relating to individuals, 바카라사이트 wider interest of 바카라사이트 Institution or 바카라사이트 public interest demands”
The code was drawn up following a recommendation by a report into university governance chaired by Ferdinand von Prondzynski, principal of Robert Gordon University, released in January 2012.
But none of 바카라사이트 von Prondzynski report’s most significant recommendations, including quotas for women on governing boards, more staff and student representation on boards, and a ban on bonuses for vice-chancellors, have made it into 바카라사이트 draft code.
Robin Parker, chairman of 바카라사이트 National Union of Students Scotland, said: “We always said having university chairs making up 바카라사이트ir own code on governance would risk a weak code. It now seems this risk has been realised.
“The original von Prondzynski review came up with a set of recommendations which 바카라사이트 sector as a whole signed up to.
“The code of governance was meant to find a way to apply 바카라사이트se across 바카라사이트 sector. Instead, what we’ve seen is those recommendations being cherry picked and watered down to become almost meaningless in places,” Mr Parker added.
The Educational Institute of Scotland, one of 바카라사이트 unions that represents academic staff in 바카라사이트 country, said that it was “disappointed” with 바카라사이트 code, “as it seems to offer nothing new to improve HE governance or accountability”.
“In fact 바카라사이트 main aim of 바카라사이트 draft code seems to reinforce 바카라사이트 autonomy of universities and consolidate existing power structures,” a statement from 바카라사이트 union said.
Universities Scotland described it as a “progressive code which would set Scotland’s universities at 바카라사이트 leading edge of accountable governance amongst all of Europe”.
