7.2 University Travel Policy and BTI
8 Matters raised by members
8.1 Consultation with faculties about administrative decisions
made
(Sponsor> Rob Norris)
This item will be considered during discussion of 7.2.
Decisions appear to be being made administratively which have
implications for Faculties without adequate consultation with them
and without drawing to their attention the possible impact of the
decision upon their operations and budgets. One recent (but not the
only) example is the decision to appoint a single TMC (called BTI)
to handle all our travel arrangements which has resulted in a
monopoly and is costing our staff much time/money.
8.2 Information Management
Professor Stephen Parker, at the request of several Deans, will
re-present the session he provided recently to Divisional Directors
on Information Management.
(Secretarial note: the Secretary to the Committee will organise a
lunchtime seminar for consideration of this matter.)
