Professor Peter Finn and Mr Brian McFall briefed
the Committee for Employment and Learning on developments at St
Mary’s on March 2nd 2011.
They reported on a wide range of achievements at
the College, particularly the outcome of the National Student
Survey. Reference was also made to substantial investment in the
College Estate in the recent past, the outcome of ETI Inspections,
the growing profile of the Liberal Arts degree and international
as well as community linkages.
The College’s main challenge was set out as the risk of
failing to prevent reductions in allocated student numbers.
Professor Finn concluded by saying:
“We want DEL in future to be a facilitator and enabler
of the sustainability of St Mary’s. A neutral stance from
the Department is not appropriate in our view. DEL has, within
its authority, the levers to effect ways of overcoming the challenges
we face.”
