Waterford IT Pull Out Of Merger Plans
Waterford IT (WIT) has pulled out of merger plans with IT Carlow.
President Dr Patricia Mulachy said she is "disappointed" with the decision.
The Institute has been in contact with the Higher Education Authority (HEA) and it has been confirmed that the HEA and the Department of Education and Skills will meet with both Institutes within the next 2-3 days.
Local media in Waterford are commenting on a report commissioned by WIT on the TU proposition, conducted by Liverpool University academic Professor John Taylor.
IT Carlow confirms that the report was withdrawn by the author on Wednesday 15th October in an email sent to the Presidents of both IT Carlow and WIT.
It said: "Following my meetings in Waterford and Carlow yesterday, it is clear that there are errors in my draft report that need to be corrected; there are also changes in tone and emphasis that I wish to correct. As I stressed yesterday, it was clearly intended as a draft and it is important to me to work with both institutions to reach an agreed report. In order to take things forward, I wish to withdraw the draft and prepare a revised draft taking into account the feedback from both institutions. I will endeavour to finish this as soon as possible. I should be grateful if you could convey this to the Chairs of the governing bodies for both institutions."
