Huw Morris: In the Hazelkorn review there is quite a lot of focus on that and looking to learn from other national systems where outcome agreements provide a broader measure of the range of things the institutions do and a mechanism for tracking how things are done through the provision of information back to the institution to help them know how they are doing And potentially in some of these other institutions funding is linked to some of those things
Kirsty Williams AM: And of course what always has to be— What we have to strike the balance of as well is at what point those powers seem to be—and the ability to direct—interfering with the principle of autonomy within an institution So there is that balance to be struck is not there about creating a regulatory regime which I am very keen and the Act attempted to do which was to enshrine institutional autonomy and that is really really important but also a regulatory regime the ability to influence and to develop and to deliver national outcomes and the power to intervene in that sector which you know better than probably anybody else in this room guards that institutional autonomy very very very dear indeed And that is the balance that we need to try and strike as we go forward with the new commission proposals
Dawn Bowden AM: Thank you Chair I think in terms of the levels of measures—and I understand what you are saying—but I think what HEFCW were saying was that they try as far as possible to use informal measures and they are able to do that because of the size of the sector—just 10 institutions to work with The post16 sector however many we are talking—50 plus providers—it is probably going to be less likely that they would be able to have that sort of relationship with the leaders in those institutions So the informal measures might not be as prevalent as they are currently possibly
Kirsty Williams AM: Yes but also what is incumbent upon me as the Minister is to ensure that the commission is set up in a way where it can have that relationship with the sector because what is really important to remember is that HEFCW will be replaced We are not asking HEFCW suddenly to go from regulating a small number of institutions to suddenly regulating 50 We will be creating a commission that will be structured in such a way that it can have those relationships Because of course whilst HEFCW will face changes our relationship with and how we manage the FE sector and the apprenticeship sector will also shift So the point is that we need to create a commission that will still be able to be close to the sector close enough to be able to provide that soft regulation those really important relationships in a way— So it has to be created in such a way and resourced in such a way that it allows that to happen and that is my intention
Dawn Bowden AM: Well then of course the University of Wales said to us that they felt that there was the potential for HEFCW to issue directions enforceable by injunction to remedy minor matters So I think from what you are saying you would not be expecting that to happen Just the fact that they have got the power does not necessarily mean that that is what they are going to do
Kirsty Williams AM: Well I think it is important to recognise when HEFCW can enforce its directions by way of an injunction If they were to do that because a university was breaking fee limits or because there were real questions about the quality of the provision or whether a university was not complying with the financial management code—personally I would not describe those as minor matters as a Minister if we had an institution that was significantly falling down on quality and HEFCW were using these powers to intervene I would not describe that as a minor matter
Dawn Bowden AM: No That is fair enough And actually on that point we have had some recent highprofile issues in Swansea and Trinity St David and HEFCW still have not yet used their powers of intervention Do you find that surprising ?
Kirsty Williams AM: I think what they have done in these circumstances is perhaps used their ability to support those institutions through what undoubtedly have been challenging times Given the fact that there are ongoing legal processes attached to Swansea University I think it would not be appropriate for me to comment any further because there are still matters in train with regard to that institution But clearly our expectation on HEFCW is to ensure that they are using their powers to support those universities and I would expect them if they felt necessary to use the full remit of their powers if they felt that that was what they needed to do Now I have to trust their professional judgment that that has not been necessary to date but our expectation is that they would do that if they felt it was necessary | Huw Morris started by introducing the focus on learning from other nations to track the information flows and help the universities in return. Meanwhile, Kirsty Williams AM suggested a balance to be achieved by each part of the participants. However, Dawn Bowden AM questioned about HEFCW's use of informal measures which might not be as prevalent as they currently are. Kirsty Williams AM answered that it should be remembered that HEFCW would surely be replaced, and a more flexible way would be adopted to control the financial codes of universities to assure the quality of the provision. |

Betty: <file_other>
Betty: Maybe you should think over you diet :D:
Steven: It seems like you can't do anything nowadays
Steven: Everything we have contact with causes cancer :(
Steven: Here's my opinion - life causes death
Betty: Seriously you shouldn't ignore this!
Steven: Come on. If you want to avoid cancer causing things, you should move to the jungle on a different planet and wear a space suit.
Steven: On this list you sent there is UV radiation causing cancer.
Steven: Meaning that literally the daylight can make you sick.
Betty: It's about long-term exposure.
Steven: Yup. Generally spending time outside in summer gives you cancer.
Betty: Don't neglect scientific reasearch.
Steven: I'm not. But I just think life is too short to get paranoid over everything
Steven: I fully support fighting with smoking in public places, convincing people to quit smoking, start diverse diet and avoid unhealthy food.
Steven: But I'm honestly surprised that scientist devote so much time to analyze what and how causes cancer, and there is still no certain cure for it.
Steven: The more we study world, the more substances we analyze, and the more we analyze the more conclusions we have.
Steven: So in near future we might learn that literally everything causes cancer because that's how the world was programmed
Betty: I'm no radical paranoic Steve I'm just saying, that if you don't have to expose yourself to additional risk, then don't do it. | Betty warned Steven about some cancer-causing part of his diet. He refuses to avoid it. |

Angela Burns AM: Well following on from what you said I have just got two really specific technical questions then to ask because you said that you look across the whole scope to make sure that they are meeting all of their correct liquidity ratios and so on So considering how much is invested in their estates are you happy that each universitys estates strategy and its financing is prudent and has appropriate governingbody oversight in place ?
Dr David Blaney: Yes so the estates strategies that institutions operate are overseen by either the full governing body or relevant subcommittees in respect of every institution so there is proper governance oversight And in all of those instances there is staff and student engagement as well in the strategic approach on estates So the machinery is in place—
Angela Burns AM: Because it is the big thing that drives most of university borrowing is not it ? So if our universities are on a sticky wicket we just need to know that the borrowing that they are undertaking is absolutely prudently assessed and is appropriate So as long as you are content if I can hear you say that—Laughter
Dr David Blaney: We are content on two fronts : one is that the governance machinery within the institutions is structured appropriately to look at that but also that if the institutions are wanting to engage in anything other than relatively trivial borrowing they have to get our consent as well And what we do not do is secondguess everything but what we do do is make sure that the governing body or its relevant committees have been asking the right questions So there are two bits to this
Bethan Owen: Can I just add to that then ? In asking for the forecasts we have reinforced this year the importance of universities looking at different scenarios So to be looking at the demographic and maybe in the past where there is potentially been growth in the system and universities have built that into their forecast we have explicitly asked this year that we are provided—not just the governing body—with the scenario where there is no growth in the income That is not the core forecast but a scenario so that it is quite clear how reliant the forecasts are on that growth and if that growth does not come through what the contingency plans are for ensuring that all the cost commitments can be met And we should probably just differentiate between—we have a role before borrowings are entered into but all the best forecasts in the world can never quite predict certainly what is happened in the last two years probably in universities So there are significant borrowings that are now committed to and the key measures we are looking at are universities capacity to meet their covenants and their repayments under those borrowings because that is essential for maintaining their liquidity
Angela Burns AM: Which actually neatly thank you brings me to my last question which is : have any universities broken those loan covenants or been close to breaking them unable to pay their borrowings as and when they fall due ?
Bethan Owen: There was a significant change in accounting standards in 2015 financial reporting standard 102 so most universities had to renegotiate their covenants but it was because the accounts were looking very different The accounting standards brought about changes in how income was recognised and how some service concession arrangements largely student accommodation arrangements and pension costs significantly were recognised in the accounts So most universities have had to renegotiate covenants but we are not aware of any who have had to renegotiate due to covenant breaches other than one which the University of Wales Trinity Saint David disclosed in their financial statements—that they did need to renegotiate their financing arrangements which they have done earlier this year and they have now negotiated new covenants It is a core part of financial management in universities now that you manage your relationship with your lender as well as with us Breaching covenants in themselves is different to doing that with your lender being unaware and the factors being within your control So again from that perspective we have the covenants built into our forecasts we require the forecasts to show how the university are planning to be within their covenants The nature of those covenants vary but most of them require a measure of cash flow a ratio between the cash generated and the cost of debt so there is close monitoring that is required because of the borrowing in the system as well as our ongoing monitoring as well | Dr David Blaney introduced that there was proper governance oversight since the estates strategies that institutions operate were overseen by either the full governing body or relevant sub-committees in respect of every institution. The government was content with the fact that the governance machinery within the institutions was structured appropriately and if the universities would like to engage any other things than trivial borrowing, they need to get the government consent as well. To prevent universities from breaking the loan, the government included close monitoring considering the change of borrowing in the system, as well as constant ongoing monitoring. |

pope: Of course you have my blessing. They are known to be a generous and kind group.

#Person2#: Why do you say that?
#Person1#: The city is beautiful, the off . . . , the offices are modern and comfortable, and the work is so interesting.
#Person2#: Many people work for the federal government their entire adult lives. Government service can be a rewarding and secure career.

#Person1#: Unbelievable! They must be exaggerating the figure!
#Person2#: Look at the way they manage their business: they collect applicants' photos, and give the applicants questionnaires to fill out as to what type of character they are.
#Person1#: I don't believe several questions can decide the type of person you're. People's characters are complicated and keep changing all the time.

Project Manager: But her very f personal favourite really she she would very much like to see a speech recogniser integrated in this remote The industrial designer presented her thoughts on the issue She would like a special case made out of plastic that is very strong not using any harmful materials should be recyclable and should be colourful Should have an integrated circuit board that is highly sophisticated and temperature resistant She would like to see a timer and or alarm facility integrated technically this thing would also have a resistor and a capacitor diode transistor resonator and if possible a rechargeable battery and of course a circuit board And how it would works you press the button the chip is morse morse code related relays the to the generat to the generator amplification and the circuit board is very inexpensive to build and so she thinks this is a great feature to to to consider She would like this whole thing should be push buttons with a simple chip scrolling method is more expensive and not that practical anymore Should be battery operated and of course she would have the special cases The marketing expert who has to finally come up with to to to market this product has been watching the competition has done some research on the internet and also has used h her personal observations to come up with the fact that such a remote sh should be small easy to use and it should be eye catching From her point of view of course one of the most important facts is that we should get to market before our competition does To do that maybe one or two features should be developed on which we could dwell on or in other words on which our campaign could be built on Too many new features or too many points would only confuse matter So we prefer to have one or two features that can be really driven home it should have a fruit and vegetable design and should have a soft feel She feels that is really what people want today And the decision that we took last time was that the special feature we would like to see is a speech recogniser the energy should be battery should be on a chip should be trendy design compact and strong and should have buttons And that concludes the presentation from the last minutes from the last meeting Now we are ready for the presentation of the prototype | Making a recyclable and colourful case out of plastic that was strong without using harmful materials was proposed. For the components, there would be a resistor, a capacitor, a diode transistor, resonator, and if possible, a rechargeable battery.
