Note on the Process of Anonymising Interview Transcripts for Submission ANONYMISATION.DOC NOTE ON THE PROCESS OF ANONYMISING INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPTS FOR SUBMISSION For each interview submitted, the names of the interviewees have been replaced with a unique identification tag (Interviewee 1, Interviewee 2 etc). This replacement method has been rigorously applied across all transcripts. As such, when the name of one of our interviewees is raised in another interview, their name has been replaced with their unique identification tag. Wherever possible, we have tried to leave the names of individuals, places and organisations in the transcripts. Where this was not possible, for example when this might have compromised the identity of the interviewee, the name has simply been deleted and replaced with unique identification code. This coding has been used in a consistent way between interviews. On at least one occasion, an interviewee made ‘off the record’ comments that were transcribed. These comments have been removed and this practice has been noted in the submitted transcript. 1 INFORMATIONSHEET.DOC BIOGRAPHICAL DETAILS Professor Adam Tickell 1987: BA Geography, First Class, University of Manchester; 1992: PhD Geography, University of Manchester 1991-1994: Lecturer, University of Leeds; 1995-1998: Lecturer, University of Manchester; 1998-2000: Professor, University of Southampton; 1995-1998: ESRC Research Fellow (concurrent with teaching appointments); 2000-present: Professor, University of Bristol.

Regional Studies 36.7 pp 733-741 (with Tickell and John) PROJECT DESCRIPTION The South East region has long been seen as peripheral to the process of devolution in England. Claims that the region lacks a clear identity of its own, that it is in fact a series of economic sub- regions and that London, although governed separately, is the cultural and economic core of the South East, are easy to make and to substantiate. This research project moves beyond these preliminary analyses of the ‘problem region’ of English Devolution. It focuses on the process through which the region is constructed as a network of institutions. It considers the emergent relationship between the three institutions of regional government, the RDA, the Government Office and the Regional Assembly, to be critical in the formation and operation of the region. This triad of regional institutions has had an immediate and significant impact on local and county government in the South East. However, the effectiveness of their promotion of the South East’s interests on the inter-regional and national scale is more questionable. This project investigates the projection of regional interests onto other scales of government by regional government. Three phases of research were carried out during 2001-2002. Initially, the focus was on the South East region but subsequently we sought to place this research in a wider spatial and institutional context though further research in central government and in London. The first phase of research involved socio-economic profiling and mapping of the region and the modelling of networks of institutional connectivity based on the multiple board memberships of individuals. The main phase of research has been a series of interviews with key informants from regional, county and local government, the economic development community, business, trade unions and the voluntary sector in the South East region and beyond. These interviews sought to identify which policy issues were important across the south east, to assess the likely impact of regional institutions on government in the region and to clarify how the South East might

  • The Fourth Report of Senior Pay and Perks in UK Universities History This
    Transparency at the top? The fourth report of senior pay and perks in UK universities History This is the fourth report on pay and perks at the top of British higher education institutions (HEIs) to be published by the University and College Union (UCU). It forms part of the union’s ongoing campaign for greater transparency in higher education, including the rationale behind senior pay rises. UCU submitted a Freedom of Information (FoI) request to 158 HEIs in October 2017. This followed similar requests submitted in 2016, 2015 and 2014. All requests were designed to shine a light on the arbitrary nature of senior pay and perks in universities, and support the union’s call for reform. The basis for this report The FoI request that forms the basis of this report was sent to 158 (HEIs). It requested details of vice-chancellors’ (or head of institution if known by a different title) salaries and those of other senior post-holders earning over £100,000 at the institution during the academic year of 2016/17 (1 August 2016 to 31 July 2017). It also asked for details of flights, spending on hotels, spending on expenses and if the vice-chancellor was provided with accommodation by the university. Finally, we requested to know whether or not the vice-chancellor was a member of the remuneration committee, and requested a copy of the most recently ratified minutes of the institution’s remuneration committee. Variety of responses The questions on expenditure on flights, hotels, expenses and accommodation for vice-chancellors elicited a huge variation in responses with many institutions deploying exemptions under the Freedom of Information Act to avoid providing data.
