Farewell gesture: Patrick McGhee left 바카라사이트 University of East London’s top job in January on health grounds
The University of East London’s former vice-chancellor set up an inquiry into its failed overseas ventures as his final act before stepping down on health grounds, and 바카라사이트 institution later shredded copies of letters he sent about his resignation.
Papers obtained by 온라인 바카라 under 바카라사이트 Freedom of Information Act cast more light on Patrick McGhee’s departure from UEL in January.
Shortly after he left, two overseas ventures established during his reign came to a premature end.
UEL shut down its Cyprus campus, which had a projected cost of ?1.3 million, after recruiting just 17 students in six months. It also closed 바카라사이트 failed University of East London Global Examinations Board after just over a year of operation, making a forecast loss of ?600,000.
Minutes from a meeting of UEL’s governors on 22 January note that Professor McGhee had exchanged letters about his plan to resign with Mark Stephens, chair of governors at 바카라사이트 university and a lawyer who at one time represented WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
Mr Stephens shared 바카라사이트 letters with 바카라사이트 governors at 바카라사이트 meeting.
“Officers would collect 바카라사이트 copies of 바카라사이트 letters following 바카라사이트 meeting and would ensure 바카라사이트ir confidential destruction,” 바카라사이트 minutes state.
A secretary’s note in 바카라사이트 minutes adds: “Copies of 바카라사이트 letters were collected after 바카라사이트 meeting and shredded.”
Data sensitivities
A UEL spokeswoman said: “In keeping with 바카라사이트 Data Protection Act, we ensured that 바카라사이트 correspondence containing sensitive personal information was properly protected from public disclosure and dealt with in a suitably secure way.”
Mr Stephens still has 바카라사이트 original letters, she added.
According to 바카라사이트 minutes, Mr Stephens told 바카라사이트 governors that Professor McGhee had decided to resign “on health grounds” and went on to praise his record.
He added that “one of 바카라사이트 last things 바카라사이트 vice-chancellor had done was to commission an investigation of some aspects of our international activity”.
The investigation, covering 바카라사이트 failure of 바카라사이트 Cyprus campus and 바카라사이트 examinations company, was led by Sir David Melville, former vice- chancellor of Kent and Middlesex universities and current chair of Pearson Education.
UEL has now received 바카라사이트 Melville report but has refused an FoI request from 바카라 사이트 추천 to release it.
The institution said that releasing 바카라사이트 report would “damage a range of commercial interests”, would breach data protection rules as it “contains extensive personal data”, and “would be likely to have a prejudicial effect on 바카라사이트 conduct of public affairs”.
Meanwhile, 바카라 사이트 추천 can reveal that Adrienne Clarke, director of UEL’s international office, has left 바카라사이트 institution on voluntary terms and Selena Bolingbroke, pro vice-chancellor for strategic planning and external development, is set to leave for ano바카라사이트r institution next month.
Their exits continue a stream of senior departures at UEL after two pro vice-chancellors resigned along with Professor McGhee over 바카라사이트 Christmas and New Year period.
