This will be investigated and the issue be raised with both the Scottish Executive and with Alistair Darling. Questions must also be asked with reference to the regulation of the Boards of Management of FE colleges.

EMAIL : alistair.darling@dft.gsi.gov.uk

This is a college management who is totally out of control. The should be stopped not. Email, write, visit, telephone, fax your MSP,Councillor,MP NOW.

Even, petition PM and FM NOW.

Do not get peruaded otherwise. STOPPING THESE PEOPLE MUST BE DONE NOW.

Sounds like misappropriation of funds.

(*!*) (£££££££) (Just had a bright idea.)

Who is running the joint? I am free just now, I could come and head you up.

:)

We need some publicity. I have tried my MSP and councillor. An undercover documentary of 'A Day in the life of Telford' might be an idea. This is a scandal and SMT are getting away with it! How can we get people to care and stand together?

What about the press?

After much soul searching about whether or not I would be traceable and hence, having put my head above the parapet, fall liable as a deserving victim of management bullying and harassment or even be considered as a legitimate target for the next round of redundancies, which will no doubt erupt after Santa has been, I also approached my local MPs and MSPs, as advised by the union. My MP and MSP did not care. They were not in the least interested. After an initial response indicating that my concern would be dealt with in due course, I did receive two nice letters, on beautiful letter headed paper. 'There is nothing I can do about this particular situation', they resounded in unison and crawled back under their stones. I think my concern has now been filed in the governmental BH file (black hole) or possibly the EBH file (even blacker hole). Any more suggestions about what we can do to get the SMT to be held accountable for what they are doing with public funds?

In response to anon 731, they just think we are a bunch of unimportant quibbling lefties and they've got their own careers to think about.

mine said its not in my constituency. i think she meant, so i don't care.

Question for 728 - any idea when is it going to be raised with the SE?

In response to 733. Yes but, in this case (if these posts are accurate), senior mangement is paying people off (the people who actually work with students) and pocketing a share of the savings - the papers do seem a bit bothered about bonuses and expenses, isn't this similar (even though on a smaller scale).

so, if the press knows about what is going on at Telford, why do you think they are they choosing not to print it?

better just despair then

Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence.

Who is Mr Lawrence?

Is there life on Mars?

Bet the announcement of new Principal has put G.I 's future in doubt now.

Will he jump ship or will he get shoved off ?

Not in doubt at all. He'll go...and with a BIG package.
