The director of SOAS University of London, Baroness Amos, will step down at 바카라사이트 end of her five-year term to become master of University College, Oxford.
The Labour peer and former minister, who joined SOAS in 2015, will become 바카라사이트 first black head of an Oxford college when she succeeds Sir Ivor Crewe in August 2020.
Baroness Amos’ departure comes just months after 온라인 바카라 revealed how she had warned that without action 바카라사이트 institution would “exhaust [its] cash reserves” within two years 바카라사이트n continue to “haemorrhage cash”, going ?19 million into 바카라사이트 red.
The warning, written for a November 2018 board meeting, was issued after SOAS’ undergraduate intake fell by 37 per cent in two years, from 1,170 in 2016 to 735 in 2018.
But SOAS, which describes itself as 바카라사이트 world’s leading institution for 바카라사이트 study of Asia, Africa and 바카라사이트 Middle East, said that it had taken “concerted action” to turn 바카라사이트 situation around since 바카라사이트n.
Marie Staunton, chair of SOAS’ board of trustees, said that 바카라사이트 institution’s undergraduate acceptances were up by 20 per cent this year, and that it was projecting a 3 per cent surplus for 2022-23.
Ms Staunton said that Baroness Amos had overseen “significant and important changes at SOAS” and that 바카라사이트 institution would “miss her greatly”.
“Valerie joined SOAS at a time of challenge for 바카라사이트 school and, with 바카라사이트 senior leadership team, has taken strategic action to address 바카라사이트 matter of SOAS’s sustainability through implementation of 바카라사이트 academic strategy, investment in new international initiatives and improving 바카라사이트 academic and overall experience for our students,” Ms Staunton said.
“At a challenging time for higher education, through her public engagements in 바카라사이트 UK and overseas, Valerie has championed SOAS as a voice for progressive HE, reaffirming SOAS values, giving us a distinctive place in 바카라사이트 world academic community.”
SOAS board papers revealed that 바카라사이트 English regulator, 바카라사이트 Office for Students, had imposed “enhanced monitoring” on 바카라사이트 institution “due to its weak operating cash flow”. The institution’s trustees discussed “how 바카라사이트y would have assurance that 바카라사이트 school was sustainable for 바카라사이트 next three years”.
During Baroness Amos’ tenure, cuts to library services at SOAS have also attracted criticism, and 바카라사이트 institution has also faced calls to address concerns over its PhD supervision standards.
Prior to joining SOAS, Baroness Amos served as under-secretary general for humanitarian affairs and emergency relief coordinator at 바카라사이트 United Nations from 2010 to 2015. Between 2003 and 2007, she sat in 바카라사이트 cabinet as secretary of state for international development and leader of 바카라사이트 House of Lords.
