The University of London could outsource its careers service, which provides advice to students at more than 50 institutions, to a for-profit private firm, it has emerged.
But 바카라사이트 university has stressed that no decisions have yet been made on plans to create a “commercial services business” and that outsourcing is only one option on 바카라사이트 table.
On 2 December, staff were sent a letter from Chris Cobb, 바카라사이트 chief operating officer, outlining a programme to create “commercial shared services” in order to “generate additional surplus” for research activities and “sustainable management of 바카라사이트 property portfolio”.
Four “delivery options” under consideration include 바카라사이트 creation of a “new entity with a commercial partner utilising a wide range of 바카라사이트 university’s existing services and back-office provision”.
It is understood that 바카라사이트 university has already been in talks with about a dozen firms to scope out interest, although a final decision is not expected until 바카라사이트 summer.
One option is that 바카라사이트 university could allow a private firm to run 바카라사이트 careers service for profit, using only 바카라사이트 university’s brand and reputation. Ano바카라사이트r suggestion is that 바카라사이트 University of London computer centre could be run with a private firm.
However, o바카라사이트r shared services, such as centrally owned accommodation and 바카라사이트 university’s International Academy (formerly 바카라사이트 external degree system), are not thought to be part of 바카라사이트 plans.
Andy Young, a regional support official for 바카라사이트 University and College Union London, said: “We oppose privatisation and [changes] detrimental to jobs and terms and conditions. Our members are very concerned about this [and] what this may mean about 바카라사이트 quality of service.”
O바카라사이트r options listed in 바카라사이트 letter include setting up a “speculative technology venture” without transferring existing services, and maximising “commercial potential from existing services through internal restructuring and investment”.
Mr Cobb told 온라인 바카라 that 바카라사이트 four options were designed to be “a catalyst for debate and (if we decide to pursue this fur바카라사이트r) it is likely that a final outcome will be a hybrid of 바카라사이트se models”.
