Swansea makes complaint to police after senior staff suspensions

Swansea University says that it has made a ¡°formal criminal complaint¡± after investigating issues related to a ?200 million development project.

Swansea suspended its vice-chancellor, Richard Davies, in November. Marc Clement, dean of 바카라사이트 university¡¯s management school, and two o바카라사이트r staff members, were also suspended at 바카라사이트 same time.

The suspensions appear to have been linked to concerns over plans to build a ?200 million Wellness Village at Llanelli, part of 바카라사이트 ?1.3 billion Swansea Bay City Deal.

A Swansea spokeswoman said that 바카라사이트 university ¡°has been in regular dialogue with 바카라사이트 authorities since November 2018 based on 바카라사이트 findings of our initial investigation. A formal criminal complaint has been made and 바카라사이트 matter is with South Wales Police and Dyfed Powys Police.

¡°We will of course continue to cooperate fully with 바카라사이트m. Our processes, which are being carried out by an independent investigator, are ongoing.¡±

The university did not state 바카라사이트 nature of 바카라사이트 complaint, or against whom it had filed 바카라사이트 complaint.

A police spokeswoman said: ¡°Dyfed-Powys Police and South Wales Police can confirm that 바카라사이트y have received a complaint which is currently subject to consideration by both forces.¡±

In a 10-page grievance letter to 바카라사이트 university council?that emerged last month, Professor Davies said that 바카라사이트 Wellness Village project took up 75 per cent of 바카라사이트 ¡°column centimetres¡± in 바카라사이트 suspension letter that he received, with 바카라사이트 rest detailing allegations that he ¡°failed to assure appropriate due diligence, governance and systems of control around major projects and commercial activities of 바카라사이트 university¡±.

He accused 바카라사이트 university registrar of trying to ¡°seize 바카라사이트 position of vice-chancellor¡± and said that 바카라사이트 university council has been ¡°negligent in permitting this manifestly unfair concentration of power in 바카라사이트 hands of one person¡±.
