Vice-Chancellor's Report to Council
Vice-Chancellor’s Report to Council – March 2005 As usual in my reports to Council I highlight some of the matters which are of particular importance at present. The report is rather long, but this reflects the range of current issues. In the meeting itself I propose to concentrate on some of these, but I shall of course be happy to respond to questions and comments on any of them. Pro Vice-Chancellor Research Collaboration Welsh-Medium provision Planning Round Future levels of funding Admissions and recruitment The University of Wales Other matters Pro Vice-Chancellor At its last meeting Council agreed to the proposal to appoint a third Pro Vice-Chancellor, and Senate recommends to Council that Professor Aled Jones be appointed. This will give us greater resilience and enable us to work on the wide range of initiatives which are important to us. The distribution of duties has now been finalised, and the arrangements are summarised in the minutes of Senate. Research The research monitoring meetings with departments took place in January. In them we emphasised the need to formulate departmental research strategies, which are consistent, of course, with the university’s overall strategy, and which address issues such as the research environment within the department, the coherence of research planning and the relationship with overall research objectives in the discipline. Emphasis was placed on the approach to RAE 2008, external research income and collaborative links. It was agreed that an external opinion would be sought in the case of most departments. We now have some information about the way in which RAE 2008 will operate, but much remains to be decided.
