I wish to raise another couple of points in respect of expenditure. Appendix 3 of the report contains a list of books purchased through the president's office, including: I Never Fancied Him Anyway by Claudia Carroll; Top Tips of the Baby Whisperer; and Mixed Doubles by Jill Mansell. These books appear to fall into the categories of chick lit and family planning and child raising, which is fair enough. However, it is peculiar that they would be procured by the president of an institute of technology. Were they intended as gifts for staff? Have they been placed in WIT's library? Are they being used?
