1853 Minutes of the Council Meeting of 7 September 2020 and Special Council Meeting of 6 October 2020

Noted

1853.1 that within the minutes for the meeting of the 7 September 2020, the following amendments were proposed:

.1 under minute 1836.7 "remined" to be corrected to "remained";

.2  under minute 1839.9: that it is hoped the projections represent a worst-case scenario and the University had a strong balance sheet to address this should the situation not improve; however, the current position was not sustainable and Council members expressed concern that the target savings had not been achieved and encouraged the executive to review identify possible cost savings to ensure sustainability since the risks in the year ahead are uncertain; a comparison especially in relation to benchmarked competitors should also be undertaken;

.3  under minute 1839.10: that the University was committed to making savings but wished to avoid quick cost cuts that would restrict the ability to grow in the future and that any changes worked both academically and financially; this was approved and savings to offset the costs being incurred due to the modified processes and operational procedures were encouraged.

1857.1 that a health and safety update was included within this report, as requested by Council;

1857.2 that student recruitment numbers had improved since issuing of the report and tuition fee income was healthy, with c.56% received of fees invoiced; it was not yet known how many students would continue to study and there was therefore a need to remain cautious on final income figures;
