high, but with a stronger commitment and delivery of widening
participation
That as a condition of increasing fees the institution will probably be

That the University should start work on enhancing the student experience now in
areas such as student feedback and that there should be a University-wide
discussion on the balance of scholarships and bursaries offered by the University.

Harris Report Implementation
REPORTED :

(by Professor M Harrison):
(i)
That he wished to extend his thanks to the Academic Registrar and the Chair of the
Board of Graduate Studies for their assistance in the preparation of the report and
its recommendations.
(ii)
That the recommendations focused on three main themes:
(A)
(B)
(C)
The strengthening of linkages between the Centre and Departments by
revising the role of the Chair of the Board of the Faculty, and by imposing
greater direction on the way the University creates and distributes
management information and its processes for consultation and wider
dissemination.
The development of additional management capacity at the Centre of the
University (noting that a significant increase in the number of Pro-ViceChancellors was not seen as appropriate at this time), again by revising the
role and responsibilities of the Chair of the Board of the Faculty, and by
giving more discretion (within appropriate constraints) to departments over
academic resourcing and teaching and learning matters.
The need for greater delegation to departments to be accompanied by
appropriate responsibility and rules and systems for risk management.
(iii) That the successful implementation of these recommendations would rely on the
positive engagement of the whole University community.
(By Professor T Docherty)
(iv) That further consideration should be given to the nomenclature relating to proposal to
use the title of “Chair of Faculty” and that the title of “Dean” would be more meaningful in
an external and international context.
7
(By Professor C Sparrow)
(v) That every effort should be taken to ensure that the benefits of the potentially
challenging changes departments would face as a result of these developments were
realised and that this could only be achieved through collaborative effort and transparent
communication.
(By the Deputy Vice-Chancellor)
(vi) That it was recognised that those individuals appointed as the Chairs of Faculty would
require appropriate training and support in order to take on all the duties set out in the
proposed job description.
(vii) That measures were already in place to take forward a number of these actions,
particularly in relation to the Academic Resourcing Committee and strengthening the
University’s interdisciplinary approach.
The Senate resolved the following:
(viii) That the recommendations set out in the report from the Harris Report Implementation
Group be approved;
(ix) That consideration be given to potentially requiring the appointment of a Deputy Chair
of the Faculty Board and the mechanism and role description to implement this;
(x) That the progress in achieving the recommendations with the Harris Report as set out
in the Implementation Plan outlined in Appendix B of the Implementation Group’s report be
reviewed by the Senate in the Autumn Term 2011.
(xi) That the possibility of Chairs of the Boards of the Faculties chairing selection
committees for Professorial posts be considered as a means to provide greater capacity,
noting that the Professorial appointment process was acknowledged as a critical
contributory aspect to the University’s future success and that the Vice-Chancellor, Deputy
Vice-Chancellor and all Pro-Vice-Chancellors were currently permitted to chair panels.
RECEIVED:
The report from the Harris Report Implementation Group to Senate, paper S.37/09-10 .
REPORTED:

categorization of departments into three tiers with each tier representing a different level of
