The Auricle

John Beaumont former Chief Executive of UK eUniversities Worldwide (UKeU) seems to have risen Phoenix-like from the ashes. Despite the recent highly critical UK Parliamentary select committee report on UKeU, on 4 April 2005 he became Chief Executive of QA plc, a company with a blended learning in management focus. According to the Money.am site the chairman of QA.plc places a high premium on John's experience. My only comment is to suggest that even a cursory trawl of the Parliamentary archives will show that despite serious censure by Parliamentary committees it's perfectly possible to live again to fight another day and, in the case of some IT or services companies/corporations, to be there to give evidence in yet another future Parliamentary inquiry. Mind you, I suppose you need to be made of the 'right stuff' and be plugged into the right networks … hopefully the former employees of UKeU have been equally fortunate.
