The Daphne Jackson Trust In 2008 4 During a year in which some may have thought the global economic Fellows in Post 2008 problems would have a negative impact on the charitable sector, Fellowships that commenced in 2008 8 the Trust has continued to drive forward the agenda of returners, Fellowships that continued in 2008 13 highlighting the fact that the need to return skilled scientists to the Fellowships that finished in 2008 14 workforce is greater than ever. Despite the economic downturn the Trust continues to work with an impressive number of Sponsors Director’s Report 15 whose continued support is essential for the growth that we have Trust Summary 2008 17 seen over the past year. Sponsors and Donors 18 The results of last year’s efforts to increase the numbers of Trustees and sponsors have been impressive. During the year we welcomed Committees & Administration during 2008 19 seven new Trustees who bring a range of expertise with them. This is a crucial time in the Trust’s development and the Trustees have a key role in ensuring the continued success and reputation of the Trust. Having worked very hard to encourage the involvement of all UK Universities, the Trust is now seeing the results with an ever increasing number of Universities sponsoring and hosting Fellowships. It is always a great pity to lose Trustees who have worked hard for the Trust over a number of years and during 2008 we said farewell to Dr Mary Harris and Mrs Dorothy Hatfield. Both Trustees are members of the Women’s Engineering Society and have put a huge amount of time and effort into their work with the Daphne Jackson Trust. The dedication and time given by all those who work for and support the Trust, especially on a voluntary basis, is very much appreciated. I would like to thank everyone who has worked so hard in 2008.

Professor Margaret Rayman is one of these Fellows and was awarded a Personal Chair in Nutritional Medicine in the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Surrey. Margaret had a rather lengthy career break to bring up her two children and only returned to research in the mid 1990s when her children were teenagers.

    The aim of this book is to illustrate, graphically, that it is perfectly possible to combine a successful and fulfilling career in research science with motherhood, and that there are no rules about how to do this. On each page you will find a timeline showing on one side, the career path of a research group leader in academic science, and on the other side, important events in her family life. Each contributor has also provided a brief text about their research and about how they have combined their career and family commitments. This project was funded by a Rosalind Franklin Award from the Royal Society 1 Foreword It is well known that women are under-represented in careers in These rules are part of a much wider mythology among scientists of science. In academia, considerable attention has been focused on the both genders at the PhD and post-doctoral stages in their careers. paucity of women at lecturer level, and the even more lamentable The myths bubble up from the combination of two aspects of the state of affairs at more senior levels.

  • Madeleine Atkins, Chief Executive, HEFCE; Professor Julia Goodfellow, President, Universities UK
    To: Madeleine Atkins, Chief Executive, HEFCE; Professor Julia Goodfellow, President, Universities UK We are university educators who are deeply disturbed by the proposed use of ‘student outcomes’ metrics as proxy measures of teaching quality in HEFCE’s proposed new ‘quality assessment’ regime and the mooted ‘Teaching Excellence Framework’. We call upon HEFCE to reject this use, and upon University UK to withdraw its endorsement of, and campaign vociferously against, the use of ‘student outcomes’ metrics for these purposes. The use of ‘student outcomes’ to measure teaching quality is completely inappropriate for the following reasons. 1. Student attainment is never a direct or reliable measure of teaching quality because it is influenced by a host of factors unconnected to the quality of teaching. Decades of research has shown that the largest single determinant of educational outcomes is social class.1 Yet, in secondary education, the OFSTED inspection regime and much political/ public discourse operates as if ‘good teaching’ is the only important driver, and by extension bad outcomes must be the result of ‘bad teaching’. This is simply inaccurate. Similarly, in Higher Education, student attainment within single academic departments frequently fluctuates considerably year-on-year. This does not necessarily signify fluctuations in teaching quality, which experience suggests remains broadly consistent, but rather cohort effects based on the characteristics of a given student body – not least the students’ own efforts. The same is true for many other metrics, such as student employment and salary data, which are heavily influenced by many non-teaching factors, notably interpersonal networks, which in turn often rest on social class themselves.2 Similar concerns have been raised about the use of NSS data.3 Given the strong social determinants of student outcomes, any metrics system based on them may reflect pre-existing social hierarchies rather than providing any objective measure of ‘teaching quality’.

    The Parliamentary and Scientific Committee Annual Report 2010 THE PARLIAMENTARY AND SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE (An Associate Parliamentary Group including Members of the Associate Parliamentary Engineering Group) Established 1939 The Parliamentary and Scientific Committee is a primary focus for scientific and technological issues providing a long-term liaison between Parliamentarians and scientific and engineering bodies, science-based industry, academia and organisations representing those significantly affected by science. The main aim is to focus on those issues where science and politics meet, informing Members of both Houses of Parliament by indicating the relevance of scientific and technological developments to matters of public interest and to the development of policy. The Committee meets once a month when Parliament is sitting to debate a scientific or engineering topic and its relationship with political issues. These debates take place in the Palace of Westminster, starting at 5.30pm and are usually followed by informal receptions. Attendance is typically 60 –80. Most debates are followed by a working dinner where the informal atmosphere facilitates open and wide-ranging discussion between interested Parliamentarians and those most closely concerned with the evening’s topic. The Committee arranges visits to industrial and scientific establishments. Typically a party of a dozen or so will include two or three Parliamentarians who will thereby have an in-depth introduction to some aspect of the real world of science and technology.

  • The Fifth Report of Senior Pay and Perks at UK Universities
    Transparency at the top? The fifth report of senior pay and perks in UK universities History This is the fifth 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 November 2018. This followed similar requests submitted in 2017, 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 2017/18 (1 August 2017 to 31 July 2018). It also asked for details spending on flights and hotels, 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, if they could attend even if not a member and requested a copy of the most recently ratified minutes of the institution’s remuneration committee. Variety of responses The questions on salary, expenditure on flights, hotels 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.

These gender-balanced boards can be found in every Mission Group, in all income quartiles and in all but one region. • In the 166 HEIs in the UK, women are 32% of all governing body members. • Women are less well represented as Chairs and Vice Chancellors than as governing body members. Women chair only 12% of all HEIs in the UK and lead only 17% of them as Vice Chancellors. • Women on boards and advancing women executive leaders are issues in the private, public, HE and third sectors. There is much to be gained from understanding how progress is being made across sectors. • Sourcing female board candidates from across sectors expands the talent pool for everyone and provides important leadership development opportunities for executive women. • Umbrella organisations in the HE sector are grappling with and addressing the issues of women’s leadership representation.
