Abstract

The 1981/82 session saw several important events. The predicted reduction in UGC funding forced the University to reduce its staffing by over 100 employees. John Treasure resigned in January 1982 after being with the School for four years. During this time he had made a substantial contribution to the development of the School. Nevertheless, he had never been completely at ease in the academic setting where his position gave him authority but limited power, and where decisions were made by committees rather than by individuals. Treasure left to launch his own advertising firm, and then went on to become Vice-Chairman of Saatchi and Saatchi. By March 1982 Professor Brian Griffiths became Dean, and Dr Geoffrey Wood replaced him as Director of the Centre for Banking and International Finance. As part of the University’s scheme for voluntary early retirement several of the remaining ‘old guard’ or management education ‘pioneers’ left. These included Vesey-Holt, Vaughan, Schofield, Russell, and Taylor. By April Carole Williams resigned as School Secretary, and Geoffrey Moulton (Executive Officer) was promoted to School Administrator. The Business Systems Analysis Division that had always had a fair amount of autonomy to run their courses, had this autonomy formally recognised by being made a ‘dependent centre’ within the School in 1983 under the directorship of Owen Hanson.
