***Letter to the Editor***
Sir
I have noticed that
the University has taken to flying a flag from the top of the
Ivory Tower.
The flag is emblazoned with the legend "Investor in
People" and is presumably there so that all loyal subjects can stop
and give the appropriate salute as they pass by.
However my concern is
that I have not seen a Flag Raising course in the Staff Development
Handbook and have not seen an advertisement for a qualified Flag
Raiser. This leads me to the conclusion that the flag is being raised
and presumably lowered by an unqualified person.
How can this great
institution claim to be an "Investor in People" when they are quite
happy to allow untrained personnel to carry out such a vitally
important role as flag raising/lowering with all the hidden dangers
that such a task contains.
I look forward to your comments.
Jack Crawford (The flag watcher.)
p.s the flag itself is quite nice, a sort of navy blue with silver
iip symbol and writing.
