Welsh v-c plans departure, as Gloucestershire appoints new top man

The vice-chancellor of Aberystwyth University is to step down at 바카라사이트 end of 바카라사이트 2010-11 academic year.

Noel Lloyd, who has held 바카라사이트 post since 2004, announced his intention to retire at a meeting of 바카라사이트 university council yesterday.

Sir Emyr Jones Parry, university president, said he had ¡°given long and distinguished service¡± to Aberystwyth and left it ¡°well placed to face future challenges¡±.

The council began 바카라사이트 process of appointing a successor to Professor Lloyd, who is also 바카라사이트 current chair of Higher Education Wales and vice-president of Universities UK.

In a separate development, 바카라사이트 acting chief executive at 바카라사이트 University of Gloucestershire has been confirmed as its new vice-chancellor.

Paul Hartley will take on 바카라사이트 role at 바카라사이트 financially troubled institution from 1 August. His appointment follows 바카라사이트 departure earlier this year of Patricia Broadfoot after disagreements between managers and unions about how to return 바카라사이트 institution to financial health.

A 2010-11 budget update discussed by Gloucestershire¡¯s planning and resources committee in March said 바카라사이트 university was ¡°nearly ?8 million adrift¡± of its target to reach a ?2 million surplus by next year.

Dr Hartley, acting chief executive since 바카라사이트 end of March, said: ¡°The immediate task is to continue 바카라사이트 disciplined approach to controlling costs, increasing income and ensuring students¡¯ needs are met.¡±
