Today was an interesting day, lots on my plate, SHAG week stuff to finalise, and Officerboard dinner, Quality documents, reaffiliation documents, mid year interm reports, grant queries, media enquiries re the esri reports, contacting politicians, reviewing the nus-usi bilateral agreement - just your general day as USI president!
But today the University heads, the IUA heand and the head of the HEA were up in front of the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education. I will post the transcript of this presentation once it is ready but it was a very interesting event!
From what transpired today it was very evident that the reg fee is being used to supplement the core grant - it has become a tuition fee.
I'm sure more will be said about this over the coming days and it will be interesting to see what the response of the Minister will be to what transpired today.
Tomorrow I am off to an event in Aras an Uachtarain so I am looking forward to that!
