Improved performance

The request was partially successful.

Dear Sir or Madam,

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.

Yours faithfully,

David Black
