I accept what Dr. Wall is saying but I found that some of the governing bodies are extremely large. What is really needed is a board of management. I know governing bodies delegate powers. Is the best way forward with regard to developing our third-level institutions? Has the way it has been structured restricted development? A smaller structure allows decisions on developing policy to be made more quickly. Does that need to be reviewed in view of how the world changes by the hour and minute compared to when those structures were set up, which in many cases was over 100 years ago?
