Report of the General Board on the introduction of a University Senior Lectureship into the Cambridge structure of academic offices, and associated matters

The GENERAL BOARD beg leave to report to the University as follows:

Office of University Senior Lecturer

1. In their Report, dated 3 June 1998, on the recruitment, reward, and retention of academic and academic-related officers (Reporter, 1997-98, p. 804) the General Board proposed (Recommendation IV) that the office of University Senior Lecturer should be introduced into the Cambridge structure of academic offices, and that promotional criteria, procedure, and other arrangements for appointments to the office should be as described in paragraphs 47-60 of that Report, subject to a further Report proposing the necessary amendments of Statutes and Ordinances. A ballot was requested on the Grace for the approval of Recommendation IV, and as a result of the ballot three amended proposals were approved (Amendments C, D, and E; see Reporter, 1998-99, p. 421), as set out in the following paragraphs.

2. The first amended proposal (Amendment C), which was approved by 320 votes to 283, was as follows:

3. In paragraph 55 of their Report the Board expressed the view that College teaching undertaken by a University officer should not be taken into account as part of the evidence for promotion to a Senior Lectureship. As a result of the ballot mentioned above, the Regent House approved a further amendment of the Grace (Amendment D, approved by 418 votes to 229), as follows:

4. In paragraph 49 of their Report the Board set out the criteria proposed for the consideration of applications for promotion to a Senior Lectureship. These included, as criterion (a), the following:

(a) Sustained excellence in teaching (in contributions to the development of courses, and in at least one of lecturing, conducting seminars, and supervision of postgraduate students).

5. As a result of the ballot, the Regent House approved a further amendment of the Grace (Amendment E, approved by 405 votes to 234), as follows:

6. On 26 May 1999 the General Board published a Notice informing the Regent House of the progress that they had made in taking these matters forward (Reporter, 1998-99, p. 632). In that Notice the Board explained that they had obtained legal advice which indicated that there was no material legal reason for not allowing College teaching to be taken into account as part of the evidence for promotion to a Senior Lectureship, notwithstanding the fact that College teaching cannot be required of University Lecturers under the terms of their employment as set out in the Statutes and Ordinances of the University. The Board accordingly stated that in their forthcoming Report they would include proposals for the inclusion of College teaching as part of the evidence for assessing cases for promotion to Senior Lectureships.

7. With regard to the question whether progression to a Senior Lectureship is considered to be promotion, the Board understood that one of the concerns which motivated the proposers of Amendment C was that appointment to a University Senior Lectureship under the scheme described in the Board's June 1998 Report would be tantamount to promotion, which for those in office before 20 November 1987 would involve a loss of security of tenure. It seems to the Board that implicit in Amendment C was the assumption that it would be possible to vary the Board's original proposals in such a way as to ensure that progression to a Senior Lectureship, i.e. into a scale of stipends above the current University Lecturer scale, with conferment of the title of Senior Lecturer, would not in law result in promotion. The Board have taken legal advice, which on this point is clear. The advice is that a scheme of the kind envisaged in Amendment C would be likely to be regarded in law as constituting promotion, since the facts relating to the process and its outcome might readily lead to the view that a Senior Lectureship is a separate position with its own distinct pay scale, even if it is not a separate office under the Statutes. This means that it is not possible to achieve the result intended by the proposers of Amendment C. On the other hand, without the conferment of a title, such a scheme might not be thought to constitute promotion.

8. Bearing in mind this legal clarification, and the need to introduce arrangements for Senior Lectureships without further delay, the Board have identified the following options:

(1) The first option is to proceed with the original proposal as set out in paragraphs 47 and 48 and Recommendation IV of the Board's Report, even though the legal advice received indicates that such a scheme is likely to constitute promotion.
(2) As there is, in the light of the legal advice, likely to be little difference in legal terms between the proposals contained in the Board's Report (option (1) above) and those in Amendment C, it would be possible to proceed on the basis of the scheme envisaged in the amendment, recognizing that this fails to achieve its intended objective.
(3) Another possibility would be to proceed on the basis of the scheme envisaged in Amendment C but to drop conferment of a title, so as to avoid the likelihood that progression will be interpreted in law as promotion.
(4) Option (1) envisages a new Statute to govern the office of University Senior Lecturer; such a Statute could not take effect until October 2000 at the earliest and, if the introduction of the new office is to be dependent on approval of the Statute, it would not be possible to embark on a promotions exercise until after that date. In order to implement new arrangements without further delay, it might be preferable to estab- lish the office of University Senior Lecturer immediately by Ordinance, leaving this to be superseded by a statutory provision in due course.

9. The Board have given a considerable amount of thought to the options summarized above. They have discounted option (3), since the results of the consultation exercise carried out in the Michaelmas Term 1997 established that there is a clear consensus in favour of a scheme which affords visible recognition of achievement, rather than one which provides solely for additional remuneration. In response to the question 'Should there be new arrangements to recognize exceptional teaching and administrative contributions and, if yes, should the new arrangements introduce a title?', 311 voted in favour and 178 against; 299 voted in favour of the title being Senior Lecturer, while 164 voted against (Reporter, 1997-98, p. 251). Given the probable legal position, the difference between options (1) and (2) is small, and the Board believe that the balance of advantage between them lies with option (1). In this connection the Board note that those who proposed the amendment suggested no change in the criteria outlined in paragraphs 49-51 of the June 1998 Report or in the salary structure proposed in paragraph 62. The Board have also been influenced by other reasons in reaching their conclusion. These were the reasons mentioned in paragraph 48 of the Report, namely, that (although it is not the Board's immediate intention to extend the scheme in this way) it is in the long-term interest of the University to be able to establish Senior Lectureships to facilitate the recruitment of senior academic staff from other Higher Education institutions, and also to enable appropriate adjustments to be made from time to time in the balance of the academic establishments of institutions. However, the Board accept that it is important to expedite the introduction of new arrangements, and that it is not in the best interests either of University Lecturers currently in office or of the University to delay the implementation of the new arrangements until a new Statute can take effect. The Board therefore strongly favour option (4).

10. For the convenience of members of the Regent House the detailed arrangements now proposed for University Senior Lectureships are summarized below. These include changes made in respect of the inclusion of College teaching as part of the evidence that can be submitted in support of a case for promotion (see Amendments D and E).

 

Application and eligibility

Application should be made by individual University Lecturers. All University Lecturers would be eligible to apply, although it is clear that those in their probationary period, or in an extended probationary period, would not expect their chance of success to be high. University Lecturers who apply for promotion to a personal Readership or Professorship would not be precluded from applying in the same year for a Senior Lectureship.

Criteria

(a) Sustained excellence in teaching (in contributions to the development of courses, and in at least one of lecturing, conducting seminars, and supervision and direction of studies of students).
(b) Sustained supportiveness and efficiency in undertaking administrative and organizational tasks (including, where appropriate, the management of research groups).
(c) Achievement in research/scholarship.

Evaluation

The same approach is proposed as that adopted for promotions to personal Professorships and Readerships. Evaluation of the case for promotion, in respect of each criterion, should be at one of the following levels (in ascending order):

(i) Reasonable doubt about the degree to which the candidate currently meets the relevant criterion.
(ii) Satisfactory evidence in respect of the relevant criterion, but the case is not yet overwhelming.
(iii) Proposal for promotion made on the grounds of very clear evidence being available in respect of the relevant criterion.

All activities relevant to the duties of a University Lecturer and in addition College teaching (see below) would be taken into account; promotion, however, would not be achievable on the ground of criterion (b) alone. Excellence in respect of any one criterion might compensate for a lower assessment in relation to other criteria.

Documentation

This should consist of:

  • A record of all courses taught by the officer in relation to the last three years or such period as may be required to demonstrate fulfilment of the criteria for promotion, including course descriptions, hand-outs, bibliographies, etc., as appropriate.
  • Details of course development, innovative teaching materials, and new materials.
  • Details of Faculty/Departmental duties concerning the co-ordination of College teaching for the relevant Tripos (see below).
  • A list of postgraduate students supervised, with their results, over the officer's period of employment.
  • A list of research publications.
  • A list of administrative tasks (including research management where appropriate).
  • A personal statement of not more than two pages, which should include a self-assessment of the impact of the officer's Faculty/Departmental and College teaching (if applicable) on students (see below).
  • A statement by the Head of the Department or the Chairman of the Faculty Board, or by another officer agreed by the Faculty Board in cases where the Head of the Department or the Chairman is eligible and intends to apply for promotion under the scheme.
  • If applicable, a statement by the Senior Tutor of the College for which the officer has regularly undertaken the greater part of his or her teaching or, if the applicant is a Senior Tutor, a statement by the Head of the College, commenting on the officer's contribution to College teaching, including a factual description of the scope and amount of such teaching.
  • Two references, one by a referee nominated by the applicant. At least one referee must be external.

Student feedback

The Board believe that student feedback is an important factor to be taken into account in assessing the effectiveness of an officer's teaching. They have agreed, as an interim measure, that University Lecturers should be required to demonstrate what impact their teaching has on students, taking into account, on a self-assessment basis, student feedback on the courses that they teach. The Board believe that, initially at least, this will provide a fairer basis on which to proceed than the current arrangements for obtaining students' views and for analysing and acting upon them, which vary widely between different Faculties and Departments. The Head of the Department or the Chairman of the Faculty Board concerned should comment in his or her statement on the officer's self-assessment and on any feedback from students that may be available.

College teaching

College teaching may also be included as part of the evidence submitted in the application for promotion, if applicable. However, the Board wish it to be understood that the overall assessment of the case for promotion will be based on the strength of the officer's overall contribution in relation to all the criteria and that, although College teaching may form part of the evidence on which the assessment is based, candidates who do not undertake substantial College teaching will not thereby be placed at a disadvantage.

The process of consideration

Given that the criteria in respect of options (1) and (2) above are the same, the Board see no reason to alter their view, expressed in paragraphs 56-57 of their June 1998 Report, that applications for promotion to Senior Lectureships should be considered by Appointments Committees. They have, however, agreed to revise their earlier suggestion (see paragraph 58 of the Report) that Appointments Committees should not themselves make definitive appointments but should forward their recommendations to committees of the Councils of the Schools. After giving the matter detailed consideration, the Board have concluded that such a procedure would be unsatisfactory, and they now propose instead that appointments should be made by Appointments Committees, in accordance with a procedure similar to that used for temporary upgradings of University Assistant Lectureships.

The Board are of the view that officers who are eligible for appointment to a Senior Lecture- ship should not themselves be members of an Appointments Committee which is considering such appointments. In the initial stages of the scheme, some adjustments in the membership of Appointments Committees will be required; it will be necessary for University Lecturers who are currently members of an Appointments Committee to resign their membership and to be replaced, when the Committee is considering applications for promotion to Senior Lectureships, by holders of senior offices who are not themselves eligible for appointment. The Board see this as a short-term problem; within a few years the majority of those officers who have the necessary seniority and experience to serve on Appointments Committees will in all probability have been promoted to a Senior Lectureship or a higher office.

Feedback and appeals

The Board would set up feedback arrangements and appeal mechanisms based on those which now operate in the scheme for promotions to personal Readerships and Professorships.

Rules of procedure and timetable

The same principles would govern the rules of procedure and the timetable for this scheme as those that currently apply to the annual exercise for promotions to personal Professorships and Readerships; the details would be drawn up by the General Board, and the Board propose that they should be given authority to make such changes in the scheme as they judge to be necessary in the light of experience. If the present proposals are approved, the Board will issue detailed information and guidance in due course. Subject to the approval of the recommendations of this Report, the Board intend that the promotions resulting from the first exercise under the new arrangements should take effect from 1 October 2000.

Tenure

Promotion will be permanent and will not be subject to review. Progression up the scale of stipends will be automatic and by annual increment on the anniversary of the date on which the promotion takes effect.

Number and standard of promotions

In paragraph 27 of their Report, dated 24 May 1999, on the financial position of the Chest (Reporter, p. 646), the Council informed the University that the General Board had agreed that personal promotions should be primarily determined by the assessment of academic merit, without budgetary restriction. This will apply not only to promotions to personal Professorships and Readerships, but also to appointments to Senior Lectureships. Promotion to a University Senior Lectureship will be determined solely by reference to the criteria (see paragraph 10 above); Appointments Committees will consider applications, and will assess the case for promotion in relation to the criteria. The Board recognize that in the early stages of the scheme, when Appointments Committees are developing their understanding of the standard required, it will be important to ensure comparability of standards in different Faculties and Depart- ments; they intend to issue formal guidance to Appointments Committees to cover the procedures for considering applications. External consultants, who are already engaged in advising the Board on similar matters, will assist in ensuring that the procedures followed are equitable. In this connection the Board believe that it may be helpful if Appointments Committees are aware of the following expectations, which have informed the Board's thinking in considering the introduction of University Senior Lectureships:

(i) As the Board explained in their June 1998 Report (paragraphs 69-71) they expect that, when the steady state has been attained, the percentage of senior academic offices in the University will be roughly comparable to that found in the top quartile of Russell Group institutions (i.e. roughly 60 per cent).
(ii) The Board expect that a substantial majority (i.e. of the order of 80 per cent) of University Lecturers will achieve promotion to a University Senior Lectureship, or a higher office, in the course of their career.

University Lecturers holding honorary NHS consultant contracts

Under the proposed new arrangements the basis for determining the remuneration of University Lecturers and University Senior Lecturers who hold honorary consultant contracts would remain as at present, i.e. the total overall remuneration relating to the appointment would be equal to the stipend for an appropriate point on the NHS consultant scale.

Implications for the structure of academic-related offices

11. Approval of the proposals concerning University Senior Lectureships will entail the approval of a number of associated proposals concerning the structure of academic-related offices, as outlined in paragraphs 61-67 of the Board's June 1998 Report. It is proposed that the necessary consequential changes should be made to the structure of academic-related offices with effect from 1 October 2000, the date on which the first promotions to Senior Lectureships will take effect.

12. The implications of the introduction of Senior Lectureships for the structure of academic-related offices were set out in paragraphs 63 and 64 of the Board's June 1998 Report. The necessary amendments of the University's general scale of stipends, and of the Schedules to the regulations for stipends (Statutes and Ordinances, pp. 635-40) are set out in Recommendation II below and in the Annex to this Report.

Implications for the current scheme of discretionary payments for officers in non-professorial grades

13. In paragraph 65 of their June 1998 Report the Board proposed that the present scheme of discretionary payments for officers in non-professorial grades should be discontinued, to be replaced by arrangements more in line with those at other universities, involving (where appropriate) the introduction of additional increments, as a discretionary range, at the top of existing scales of stipends. This proposal was approved by Grace 10 of 25 November 1998. The Board are not yet ready to bring forward detailed proposals to implement such a scheme, but they intend to do so at the earliest opportunity.

Stipends and scales of stipends which do not require the approval of the University

14. If the recommendations of the present Report are approved, the Board will make the necessary adjustments in those stipends and scales of stipends which do not require the approval of the University. Details of these are set out in the Annex to this Report.

Other matters

15. The Board are currently in the process of implementing all the proposals contained in their June 1998 Report which do not require the approval of the University or which were authorized by the approval of Graces 7 and 8 of 25 November 1998, e.g. the revised arrangements for recruitment incentive payments to officers in non-professorial grades, the revised scheme of supplementary payments for Professors, the arrangements for periodic review of the stipends of academic-related staff in professorial grades, and the policy for ensuring that all officers benefit financially from promotion. The present Report carries forward the process of reform which was outlined in the earlier Report.

Recommendations

16. The Board accordingly recommend:

I. That, subject to the approval of Her Majesty in Council, the Statutes of the University be amended as follows, and that the proposed amendments be submitted under the Common Seal of the University for the approval of Her Majesty in Council:

Statute D

Every appointment to an office of University Senior Lecturer shall be made by the Appointments Committee with the concurrence of the votes (which shall be given in person at a meeting) of at least five members of the Appointments Committee, or of at least two-thirds of the number of members present, whichever is the greater number.

3. The teaching to be given by University Senior Lecturers and their stipends shall be determined in the same manner as for University Lecturers.

4. The restrictions imposed by Statute on the teaching which may be given by University Lecturers otherwise than on behalf of the University shall apply also to University Senior Lecturers.
