The GENERAL BOARD beg leave to report to the University as follows:
1. The senior academic promotions exercise in respect of promotions to take effect from 1 October 2006 has been completed. The General Board, at their meeting on 10 May 2006, considered recommendations from the main Senior Academic Promotions Committee in respect of promotion to personal Professorships, Readerships, and Senior Lectureships. With the recommendations the Board received an extensive report which included the minutes of meetings of Faculty Promotions Committees, and of the Board's Main Senior Academic Promotions Committee and Sub-committees. The report and the minutes provided the Board with an account of the procedure followed for the evaluation and comparison of the evidence for all applicants. The Board were able to see how recommendations had been arrived at so that, without repeating the entire exercise itself, they could either approve the recommendations or, if they so wished, consider the basis on which any of the recommendations had been made.
2. The contents of the report were as follows:
3. The Board now recommend the establishment of twenty Professorships from 1 October 2006. The establishment of these Professorships, with the exception of that proposed for Dr J. A. Clack, is proposed on condition that, in each case where the person currently holds a permanently established office, that office should be placed in abeyance during the tenure of the Professorship. In proposing the establishment of a Professorship for Dr Clack, the General Board have agreed, in accordance with Statute D, II, 11(b), that it should be tenable for so long as Dr Clack continues to hold the office of Senior Assistant Curator of the Museum of Zoology.
4. The General Board have agreed to recommend the establishment of a Professorship for Dr I. D. Hodge with effect from 1 October 2005 following his successful appeal against the outcome of his application in the previous exercise.
5. The Board also propose the establishment from 1 October 2006 of twenty-eight Readerships, as set out in Recommendation III. The establishment of these Readerships, with the exception of that proposed for Dr A. Moffett, is proposed on condition that, in each case where the person currently holds a permanently established office, that office should be placed in abeyance during the tenure of the Readership. Dr Moffett currently holds a senior unestablished appointment. The General Board have agreed to propose the establishment of a Readership for Dr Moffett for a period of five years from 1 October 2006. The Head of the Department of Pathology has confirmed that funding is available to meet the full cost of the Readership for the period of its establishment.
6. In order to avoid delay in publishing the Report, the Board have put forward their recommendations before the titles of the Professorships and Readerships have been agreed. The Board will announce these titles at a later date, after consultation with the individuals concerned.
7. The Board have also agreed, in accordance with Statute D, XVIII, 3 and the special regulation for University Senior Lectureships (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 693), to appoint the twenty-eight individuals listed in the Schedule to this Report to University Senior Lectureships (or unestablished posts at the same level).
8. The estimated total additional cost to central funds of the proposals for promotion to personal Professorships and Readerships and of the appointments to University Senior Lectureships of the persons named in this Report will be approximately £503,413 a year.
9. The General Board recommend:
I. That, with effect from 1 October 2006, Professorships be established for named persons for one tenure, placed in Schedule B of the Statutes, and assigned to the Faculty or Department named in each case, as follows:
II. That, with effect from 1 October 2005, a Professorship be established in the Department of Land Economy for one tenure for Dr IAN DAVID HODGE, of Hughes Hall, and placed in Schedule B of the Statutes.
III. That, with effect from 1 October 2006, Readerships be established, as follows, and that the General Board be authorized to appoint to each Readership the person for whom its establishment is proposed:
