Report of the Principal. 

With the Chairman’s agreement, the Board considered the Principal’s late public report.

A Governor raised the issue of the survey of the School’s space usage and made the point that the 65% figure would be considered appropriate in many organisations. Other members asked the Principal to let Governors know if they could be of assistance in helping to resolve the accommodation matter.

During further discussion, a Governor raised the issue of delay to the appointment of a Quality Assurance Officer (Programme Development). It was noted that this appointment had been delayed for a number of reasons. In response to a question asked, the Principal also undertook to confirm whether the School had responded to the consultation on the knowledge exchange concordat.

RECEIVED – with the Board confirming that the interim report on academic assurances annexed to the report provided assurance that academic governance continued to be effective.
