The real story is: Who made this recording at Council and then leaked the story to the press in an attempt to discredit the Vice Chancellor?<\/strong> And why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

According to a leaked recording obtained by Varsity<\/em> and The Sunday Times<\/em>, at Monday\u2019s meeting of Cambridge\u2019s University Council \u2013 the University\u2019s policy-making body of college heads, senior academics and student representatives <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The ABC of Leaks is;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A <\/strong>– Leaks happen if shared purpose & trust has gone. The present senior management has lost the confidence of large parts of the University, though this process was well underway before the present Vice Chancellor took office. In our opinion, the real damage has been inflicted by long-serving senior administrators, such as the Registrary and the HR Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B <\/strong>– A leaker generally wants to damage the reputation of a leader they dislike. This leak was likely made (or encouraged) by someone who wanted to personally discredit the Vice Chancellor. It seems to be motivated by a power struggle at the top. The name of the leaker is of public interest and should be revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C<\/strong> – Leaky organisations sink. Drastic changes are needed at the top of Cambridge University. The VC has an opportunity to get a grip — we must hope she either takes it, or makes way for someone to clear out the wrongdoers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story is in Varsity<\/a>, the Times<\/a> and the Daily Mail.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
