An article in today’s Western Mail mentions problems in the University of Wales, Lampeter. Apparently HEFCW is unhappy with some aspects of the university’s management and has commissioned a team of consultants to draw up a report and make recommendations for improvements. In its defence the university has drawn attention to its status as a center of research and its impact on the local economy. The Department of Welsh received a very positive report recently.
The health of Lampeter’s economy is dependents on the success of the university. The university has shown a great deal of willingness to work with the local community of late and it’s been of benefit to both the town and the college. Fortunately the consultants have ruled out any extreme measures such as closing or moving the campus but we now all need to work together to help the university secure its long term future. Without it, Lampeter would be a shadow of its present self.
