City University plans to drastically reduce the size of its governing and decision-making bodies, in what David Rhind, the university's vice-chancellor, claims are amongst the most radical governance reforms yet seen in the higher education sector. The university plans to reduce its governing body to six members, vs 21 at present, reduce its ruling senate to 30 staff members from 47 and halve eight other senior committees.
