JULY 2011 The minutes were approved, and signed by the chairperson. 2. PERSONALIA/DEAN’S MANAGEMENT REPORT 2.1 NEW APPOINTMENTS AND PROMOTIONS The Dean announced the following new appointments and promotions:

Prof TH Boyd had been appointed as extraordinary professor in anatomical pathology. Dr WF Ferris of Endocrinology had been promoted to associate professor. Ms B Gerber of Speech-Language and Hearing Therapy had been promoted to senior lecturer. Dr L Keiller of Physiotherapy had been promoted to lecturer. Prof PD van Helden had been reappointed as executive head of the Department of Biomedical Sciences and as head of the Division of Molecular Biology and Human Genetics.

2.2 ADJUSTMENTS TO THE PROVISIONS REGARDING THE APPOINTMENT OF HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS AND DIVISIONS

It had become possible to appoint heads of departments and divisions on a permanent

basis. The election process that had been followed was therefore replaced by an appointment process. That required that the current heads’ tenures be extended until a new appointment had been made in the environments concerned – that is, where more than one candidate would be available in a particular environment. Where a motivation had been submitted, future vacancies could be filled on a permanent basis in consideration of scarce skills. The abovementioned provisions would apply to the executive heads of departments that consist of only one discipline, as in the case of Paediatrics and Child Health. The appointment procedure for executive heads of departments that consist of more than one discipline would remain unchanged. A case in point would be Pathology, which consists of Medical Microbiology as well as other disciplines.


2.3 BUDGET 2012 The Faculty’s budget for 2012 had been cut by R8 572 669, which could be attributed

to the decrease in publication units, educational input units at honours level and educational output units, especially regarding MB,ChB.

The smaller budget would require cuts in operational and equipment allocations in

order to honour obligations regarding the salaries account. Reserve funds would also be employed to cushion the effect of the abovementioned cuts. Efforts would have to be made to increase publication outputs, to reach the targets regarding student registration and to improve the through-flow rate of students.
