Dear Mr Black,
Re: Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 – Request for Information
Thank you for your email which was received by the University on 4 June 2009 timed 1936
hours, requesting the following:
The Secretary of Court at the University of Glasgow sent an email to all staff on 1 June
2009 ("Investing in our future: the Student Lifecycle Project") announcing the
procurement of a new Student Information System.
In his email he stated that "Time spent on administrative tasks will be reduced, for both
academic and support staff.".
Obviously, no experienced senior manager would make such a claim without readily
available evidence to support it.
For this reason I would like to know:
a. What administrative tasks is the Secretary of Court referring to?
b. The time currently spent on each of the above administrative tasks.
c. The expected time that will be spent on each of the above administrative tasks
after the new system has been implemented.
As the University of Glasgow is a Scottish Public Authority, your request is subject to the
