What is the intended administrative structure of the new Colleges?
A possible structure for administrative support was outlined in the paper ‘Changes to Academic Structures- Update December 2005’. It proposed the appointment of a ‘College Administrative Manager’ and two ‘Deputy College Managers’ plus further administrative support. As a minimum, it is expected that each College will have a senior administrator (College Manager) supported by a Deputy Manager (Resources) and a Deputy Manager (Academic). A key aim is to have an administrative structure for each College that maps onto the central University administration which will greatly improve interactions between high-level College administrators and their counterparts in the University central administration with concomitant gains in efficiency and professionalism. Thus, each College is expected to have administrative expertise in five key areas: Teaching/Learning, Research, Marketing, Finance and HR.
