Newly-appointed principal and chief executive of South Lanarkshire College, Stella McManus, was among bosses who collectively wrote a whistle-blowing letter on the eve of her predecessor’s suspension, warning of “serious concerns” and highlighting possible “considerable financial and reputational risks” to the institution.
Ms McManus, who has held the position of deputy principal and director of curriculum at South Lanarkshire College (SLC) for two years and five months and has worked at senior level across a number of colleges in England, took the helm earlier this week.
She assumes responsibility for 5000 students and 300 staff in the role, which comes with a £110,000 salary.
