Dear Mr Seaman, 
 
Re: Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 – Request for Information 
 
Thank you for your email which was received by the University on 29 May 2009 timed 0843 
hours, requesting the following: 
 
 
1.  I understand that the University has appointed a Director of Student Services. When 
and where was this job advertised? 
 
I am also interested to know: 
 
2. Since 1st October 2008, the number of people appointed to posts within the 
University Services with a salary greater than £60,000. 
 
3. The number of current vacant posts in the University Services offering salaries of 
greater than £60,000. 
 
4. Since 1st October 2008, the number of University Services' staff who have resigned 
from posts with salaries greater than £60,000. 
 
University’s Response 
 
1.  I understand that the University has appointed a Director of Student Services. When 
and where was this job advertised? 
The Director of Student Services is a new title that has been conferred on an existing member 
of staff who is undertaking additional management responsibilities.  This is not a new post and 
therefore was not advertised. 
 
2. Since 1st October 2008, the number of people appointed to posts within the 
University Services with a salary greater than £60,000.
