    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.
  • Commerce and Exchange Buildings Listing Selection Guide Summary

    Commerce and Exchange Buildings Listing Selection Guide Summary

    Commerce and Exchange Buildings Listing Selection Guide Summary Historic England’s twenty listing selection guides help to define which historic buildings are likely to meet the relevant tests for national designation and be included on the National Heritage List for England. Listing has been in place since 1947 and operates under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. If a building is felt to meet the necessary standards, it is added to the List. This decision is taken by the Government’s Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). These selection guides were originally produced by English Heritage in 2011: slightly revised versions are now being published by its successor body, Historic England. The DCMS‘ Principles of Selection for Listing Buildings set out the over-arching criteria of special architectural or historic interest required for listing and the guides provide more detail of relevant considerations for determining such interest for particular building types. See https:// www.gov.uk/government/publications/principles-of-selection-for-listing-buildings. Each guide falls into two halves. The first defines the types of structures included in it, before going on to give a brisk overview of their characteristics and how these developed through time, with notice of the main architects and representative examples of buildings. The second half of the guide sets out the particular tests in terms of its architectural or historic interest a building has to meet if it is to be listed. A select bibliography gives suggestions for further reading. This guide treats commercial buildings. These range from small local shops to huge department stores, from corner pubs to Victorian ‘gin palaces’, from simple sets of chambers to huge speculative office blocks.

    General Aviation Activity and Airport Facilities

    New Hampshire State Airport System Plan Update CHAPTER 2 - AIRPORT SYSTEM INVENTORY 2.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the existing airport system in New Hampshire as of the end of 2001 and early 2002 and served as the database for the overall System Plan. As such, it was updated throughout the course of the study. This Chapter focuses on the aviation infrastructure that makes up the system of airports in the State, as well as aviation activity, airport facilities, airport financing, airspace and air traffic services, as well as airport access. Chapter 3 discusses the general economic conditions within the regions and municipalities that are served by the airport system. The primary purpose of this data collection and analysis was to provide a comprehensive overview of the aviation system and its key elements. These elements also served as the basis for the subsequent recommendations presented for the airport system. The specific topics covered in this Chapter include: S Data Collection Process S Airport Descriptions S Airport Financing S Airport System Structure S Airspace and Navigational Aids S Capital Improvement Program S Definitions S Scheduled Air Service Summary S Environmental Factors 2.2 DATA COLLECTION PROCESS The data collection was accomplished through a multi-step process that included cataloging existing relevant literature and data, and conducting individual airport surveys and site visits. Division of Aeronautics provided information from their files that included existing airport master plans, FAA Form 5010 Airport Master Records, financial information, and other pertinent data. Two important element of the data collection process included visits to each of the system airports, as well as surveys of airport managers and users.

    South West England and South East Wales Science and Innovation Audit Annex K: Resilience, Environment and Sustainability Theme Report A Science and Innovation Audit Report sponsored by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy K Annex K: Resilience, Environment and Sustainability Theme Report 1. Introduction The Resilience, Environment and Sustainability theme of the Audit has been undertaken to assess the opportunities for the region to enhance prosperity and resilience associated with climate and environmental change and sustainable development. Quotes from business, captured through an independently commissioned survey, highlight the essence of the theme: “new business models will be unlocked through future energy and environmental demands and concerns”, “the mood and the climate is think differently, do things differently, look for different opportunities”. This theme recognises the extensive, vibrant and internationally excellent capability, assets, and research in the region and builds on a broad environmental goods and services sector, alongside regional priority sectors in environmental futures, agri-food/tech, energy, digital, water, low carbon and high value manufacturing. Over a quarter of the UK’s major environmental research organisations have a base in the region and there are almost 2,000 scientists working in relevant areas. The total research expenditure on this theme in 2014-15 was £271m, and relevant university research activity is showing much stronger growth compared to the Russell Group. There are 25,000 enterprises in the region based in sectors relevant to the theme and 153,000 jobs. Employment has grown sixteen times faster than other sectors in the region. In Devon the concentration of environmental scientists is four times higher than the national average.

It is situated between Owens Park and the Armitage Centre (University of Manchester student residences and sports centre respectively), very close to the southern end of the Wilmslow Road/Oxford Road corridor (marked in yellow on the map below). This is one of the main routes into the city centre, along much of which is ranged the University of Manchester and other educational establishments. The section of Wilmslow Road between Dickenson Road and Oxford Place is the famous ‘Curry Mile’, within walking distance of Chancellors, and said to have the largest concentration of South Asian restaurants outside the Indian subcontinent. Travel If you arrive at either Manchester Airport or Manchester Piccadilly rail station, our advice, particularly if you have luggage, is to take a taxi to Chancellors, as there is no direct bus route. There are very frequent trains between the airport and Piccadilly stations, but because Chancellors lies between the two, there is no time advantage in taking a train into the city and then a bus or taxi out again. There is a very regular bus service along Wilmslow Road/Oxford Road to and from the city centre. If you want to take the bus from Chancellors into the city centre, walk from Chancellors to the Wilmslow Road/Moseley Road junction, cross the road, turn right and walk to the first bus stop.
