But at expense of staff morale?
Trying to satisfy students - shame on them.
The department is not interested in research quality or publications anymore, it is promoting crooks who produce mediocre research and is only interested in boosting its students' satisfaction and NSS scores; hence we are all packing our backs and leaving! But Brexit is also a factor.

All the people are leaving/have left did so because of the 'interesting' policies of the HoS - this is also largely to do with his extremely abrasive personality.
Wow, that’s a big hit to the department. On the other hand it speaks for the department that they were able to get such a group together in the first place. SB and ODG left recently too. If you are married with kids, probably one of the best places to work.
It is certainly not the current head who hired such group - he is in fact the one who has destroyed the place. A couple of good senior still there, but obviously not prepared to stand up to the bully. They are now hiring a bunch of teaching fellows, including their own students. Impressive how a single person can totally destroy a place in a short couple of years.
The irony is, they may still do well in the REF by using papers of everyone who has left.

AS
sad, I interviewed with them few years ago and had the impression it was a very friendly department.
It really, really was. AS really f*ed things up. It really is quite shocking that the university admin does nothing.
Anyway, there are still good people around - all patiently waiting for AS and his wife OS to gtfo.
Are you CP?

Lol - I bet it's KP.
Anyway, for all the negativity associated with the HoS (including mine), the department is still a great place to work. There are good, enthusiastic people around, the department is located in one of the nicest buildings of any department in the world, the town is great, the undergrads are smart, the part of the world is beautiful and Edinburgh is very close.
Once AS goes, the place can really be amazing.

Def not CP. She’d have the guts to say it to his face as opposed to behind a screen.
who will be next HoS?

That’s the key question... Hopes and prayers are pinned on Jaeger - he could realize the potential of the place and unite the place behind him?
