Phil came in and said that it's been confirmed that PandIS is closing. The only thing left is the timing.
Natalie is going on a secondment to Comms (though Loren thought it was something else - working with Ed Webster). Steve R rather stupidly said she could still do Saturday's. Which is daft as who'll do the printing?
Update: It's now going to ANOTHER committee. It's going to be discussed at the full college's committee at the end of February. Which gives 3 weeks to find out who is on it & lobby against the decision.
If they agree with the closure, then April 1st could, appropriately, be the last one (as no Natalie). If they agree to keep us then it might be permanent but it might be until October.
There's also the issue of Natalie's secondment: if the job she's seconded to is abolished in her absence is that legal? Where does it leave her?
Neville wont be happy either as he'll be doing it all (and he's part-time) plus the Noritsu is dying too.
Steve R also told Phil that Mick's redeployment (promised by Sue etc) would have to be confirmed by Dr No as UIS will now be paying him & need to ensure that he'll bring in enough doing posters etc....
As usual in the University, the RFA method is being employed: Ready! Fire! Aim!
Or, we'll make the decision, then consult with people....
I do think that Sue, Steve, Martin et al have badly let Phil, Natalie, Mick & Neville. As Donald T might say' "Very unprofessional. Sad."
