UoM IT Services to be outsourced
UoM under its current IT director and its leadership team are outsourcing all of its IT services. Will ultimately lead to IT services giving a poor and very delayed service with even more job cuts.
Interestingly, all this leadership team's salary are over 50K, yet they bring little & often poor value to the universities teaching/ learning and research operational departments.
And these departments are told by this group that IT services no longer can support them fully due to staff cuts.
Should the Universities senate not be looking to reduce staff that bring poor value to its IT operations and on salaries of over 50K, isnt this where to true financial burden lays.
You only require 2 maybe 3 strategy staff in the directors team and certainly not over a dozen on 50K?
