What's more, it's stopping the real message getting through. That thanks to the untiring efforts of Court and the Management Group life in the University is improving all the time and moreover is going to continue improving in the future. Perhaps you could help me with an example. Take the Draft Policy Statement on Research Grants and Contracts, Consultancy and Commercial Activities. Surely you can see that this is a helpful and user-friendly document incorporating the principle that recognition and reward should lie at the heart of the endeavour.
Nothing is written in tablets of stone.
This is a developing framework which will evolve and change. Good, but some say that the noble principles enshrined in this document are not always reflected in what happens in reality when, say, they try to organise a conference. Always carping, aren't you. There's nothing that a quick phone call to your friendly neighbourhood Vice-Principal can't solve. That's fine then.
