Meanwhile on another planet

Pro-Vice Chancellor for research at Sussex makes working there sound like paradise for staff - light workload for new staff in the first three years, no higher promotion for selfishly-behaved academics, strong defence of the higher education ethos, aims to be the employer of first choice… He even wanders about the campus inviting random colleagues for coffee, and makes sure he gets to know everybody, to the benefit of individual and and institution. If it's true, what a great place.
