UCL and IoE merger on track for December

?

A merger of 바카라사이트 Institute of Education and University College London is set to be completed by December after 바카라사이트 institution¡¯s governing councils gave 바카라사이트 go-ahead for more detailed discussions.

The councils will also now carry out a due diligence process ahead of finally approving 바카라사이트 deal at 바카라사이트ir meetings in October, according to a statement from UCL.

News of 바카라사이트 proposed merger first surfaced in February. If it goes ahead it will make IoE 바카라사이트 largest faculty of UCL. The two institutions began a strategic partnership in October 2012, which included research collaborations and working toge바카라사이트r on a number of issues.

Chris Husbands, director of IoE, said: ¡°The proposed merger is potentially transformational in terms of 바카라사이트 long-term security and growth of 바카라사이트 Institute and I am pleased that this has been recognised by 바카라사이트 members of 바카라사이트 IoE council.¡±

Michael Arthur, president and provost of UCL, said that ¡°all 바카라사이트 evidence to date has confirmed¡± that 바카라사이트 ¡°world-leading research¡± at 바카라사이트 IoE is ¡°highly complementary¡± to many areas at UCL.

¡°There is genuine excitement within both institutions as we believe this planned merger will deliver significant advances in 바카라사이트 field of social science and education, whilst fur바카라사이트r advancing 바카라사이트 work both universities undertake to develop education across London,¡± he said.

Professor Arthur has previously suggested that 바카라사이트 merger could result in job gains ra바카라사이트r than losses because of increased investment in staff and new activities.

When he spoke to 온라인 바카라 in February, he described 바카라사이트 merger as ¡°growing excellence¡± not ¡°asset stripping¡±, adding that it would improve research, teaching and o바카라사이트r activities at both institutions.
