I understand what a Vice-Chancellor is but can anyone explain to me what a Pro Vice-Chancellor is ?
Oh_dearie_me
Apparently an assistant to the vice chancellor! Hmmm!
I wonder how many of these "assistant-to-the assistant" type jobs there are at the University?
Still, it partially explains why they need to put the fees up, eh?!

And there was me thinking that less contact time, lectures, staff, tutorials, exams,library assistants and work meant the fees would go down. Doh - less expense means more charges.
Oh, I forgot there are less STUDENTS than expected so the ones there have to pay more.
Poor management foreward planning.
Why do have they a Dean of students? Does s/he look after them? Does s/he run their world? Expense
Dean/head of school/department yep got that but students? Cut
Pro = bit part like a golf pro at a Golf club - 1 or more expensive assistants. Cut,cut cut.
