Recommendation 4

That the post of Deputy-Vice Chancellor be retained, but that, as opportunity presents itself, it be filled by a Senior Professor on a part-time basis for a period of say, three years, (and renewable for a second period). Dale believes that administration should be carried out by trained administrators, and he quite rightly points out that our present top administrators are not so qualified. Apparently even the Deputy-Vice-Chancellor himself, I.D. Campbell, agrees that his duties could be "discharged in some other way", i.e. by some lower paid administrator. It is worth noting that for years the Deputy-Vice Chancellorship was in fact a part-time post, and remained so until, a couple of years ago, when Taylor began to realise that his job was too much for him.
