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 2013 has been completed. The General Board, at their meeting on 12 June 2013, 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 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, 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:
•Minutes of the Main Committee and Sub-Committees
•Summary lists of Faculty Promotions Committee and Sub-Committee evaluations and bandings, indicating adjustments and any special or non-standard aspects of applications
•Summary tables giving names of applicants in priority order by Sub-Committee for each of the senior academic offices
•Funding and statistical information
•Equal opportunity report on all applications received
•Feedback statements
3. The Board now recommend the establishment of thirty-five Professorships from 1 October 2013 as set out in Recommendation I. The establishment of these Professorships 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.
4. The Board also propose the establishment of fifty-six Readerships from 1 October 2013, as set out in Recommendation II. The establishment of these Readerships 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.
5. 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.
6. The Board have also agreed, in accordance with Statute D, XVIII, 3 and the special regulation for University Senior Lectureships (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 744) to appoint the twenty-six individuals listed in the Schedule to this Report to University Senior Lectureships, or an unestablished appointment at the same level. In establishing a University Senior Lectureship for Dr Robert Asher, the Board have agreed this office should be tenable for so long as he continues to hold the office of Curator of Vertebrates in the Department of Zoology.
7. The estimated total additional cost to central funds in the first year 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 £747,867.
8. The General Board recommend:
I. That, with effect from 1 October 2013, Professorships be established for the following named persons for one tenure, placed in Schedule B of the Statutes, and assigned to the Faculty, Department, or Institution named in each case, as follows:
