Pros
Some very capable staff and very likable and dedicated people. Good facilities.
Cons
Vice Chancellor and top team are intimidating and do not reflect the values the University professes. There is a blame culture and strategic weakness.
Advice to Management
Replace the Vice Chancellor who is not taking the staff with her. Her wayward style is widely recognised.
