[SSC] offer of financial support

[Richard Hall]

I missed the earlier email round about this. We should definitely discuss it, but I have alarm bells going off about "financial support".
 
If our governance is co-operative, and we have a clear structure within which that is applied then why doesn't he join as a co-operator donating an hour of a month's time/money/whatever? I am concerned that we do not get overtaken by the rule of money. If we are looking to develop a different or alternative model for HE that may involve different forms of economic activity then I do not wish, within months, to be reproducing what we already have in HE (benefactors, philanthropy, alumni offices etc.).
 
In solidarity,
 
Richard.

Dear all,
You may remember that a publisher Allan Sayers has written to us offering financial support. I wrote and thanked him. He has now written back offering to meet us (see below). He suggests June 15. That would be OK for me. You may well want to discuss at the AGM (I'm away in Canada then so am unable to attend).
Best wishes,
Richard

Dear Richard,

I am glad to hear the open day went well.  I am able to come to a meeting in Lincoln but am off to China on the 9th May and then straight on to US until the end of the month.   I am at Snetterton on the 13/14 th June and coincidentally at an RAF family day on the 16th  in Lincolnshire. sandringham on the 17th.  so the 15th June I am free and in your area.
Regards
Allan Sayers
