The Vice-Chancellor gives notice that he has received with gratitude a generous benefaction of £2m from the Schroder Foundation to further support the Schröder Professorship of German and the study of German in the University. Trinity College has agreed that £1m from the sums donated by the College in support of the Schools of Arts and Humanities and the Humanities and Social Sciences, as announced in the Vice-Chancellor’s Notice of 17 July 2006 (Reporter, 2005–06, p. 834), should be allocated to support this Professorship.
The Council, on the recommendation of the General Board, is submitting a Grace to revise the regulations for the Professorship (Grace 4, p. 396) to take account of this further donation.
The Vice-Chancellor gives notice that the title of the 2012 Rede Lecture to be delivered by Lord Turner of Ecchinswell, CAI, Chairman of the Financial Services Authority, will be The purpose of the university: knowledge and human wellbeing in the modern economy.
Lord Turner will lecture in the Senate-House at 5.30 p.m. on Thursday, 16 February 2012. Senior members of the University attending the Lecture should wear gowns. There will be a Reception in the University Combination Room following the Lecture.
The Universities and Colleges Employers Association (UCEA) have proposed a pay settlement from 1 August 2011 which provides for a consolidated increase of £150 to the salaries of non-clinical academic and academic-related staff, and assistant staff.
The Council and the General Board have agreed that an increase on the basis set out above should be made in all relevant stipends and salaries with effect from 1 August 2011.
The stipends and salaries of certain University staff require the approval of the Regent House. The Council is accordingly submitting a Grace (Grace 2, p. 396) to the Regent House for the approval of an increase of £150 to these stipends and salaries. An updated Cambridge general stipend and salary scale showing the proposed new stipends and salaries for each grade is included in this Notice. This indicates those points which are the 51 points of the national single spine and those points, above and below, which are extensions to the spine in Cambridge. Changes will also be applied to those associated payments directly linked to a single spine stipend/salary point.
Subject to the approval of this Grace, the corresponding increases will be implemented in the stipends of those offices which do not require the approval of the University as well as in the salaries of analogous unestablished staff. In the case of contract research staff and other staff supported on non-central funds, payment of the increase will be conditional on funds being available to meet the cost of the increase from the relevant funding source.
It is expected that, if the Grace is approved, the increases will be paid to staff in the February 2012 payroll, together with the arrears from 1 August 2011.
