Report of the General Board on the establishment of a Visiting Professorship of Marketing, Strategy, and Innovation in the Judge Institute of Management Studies: Notice

11 November 2002

The Council have received the remarks made at the Discussion of this Report on 22 October 2002 (p. 256). In her remarks Dr Evans referred to the Judge Institute of Management Studies being awarded a '4' in the RAE. This is incorrect. The Institute was returned as the business and management unit of assessment for the University of Cambridge RAE 2001 and was accorded a rating of '5'.

Dr Evans also remarked on the history of Visiting Professorships. The first 'Visiting' or short-term Professorships were the Slade Professorship of Fine Art (established in 1869) and the Pitt Professorship of American History and Institutions (established in 1944). Besides the BBV Visiting Professorship mentioned by Dr Evans, the University has approved several Visiting Professorships whereby distinguished individuals may visit Cambridge for short periods of time: the Simón Bolívar Professorship of Latin-American Studies, the Arthur Goodhart Visiting Professorship in Legal Science, the Alexander Todd Visiting Professorship of Chemistry, the Jawaharlal Nehru Visiting Professorship, the John Wilfrid Linnett Visiting Professorship of Chemistry, and the Rothschild Visiting Professorships in the Isaac Newton Institute of Mathematical Sciences. They are not Honorary Professorships, the title of which is granted in recognition of the substantial benefit to the University brought by an individual who is associated with but not employed by the University.

The Council are submitting a Grace to the Regent House for the approval of the recommendations in the Report (Grace 3, p. 296).
