“Well noted soraya. What a busy chap Mr Basi is. And amazingly talented. One might imagine being Principle of a large educational institution is a full time job and then some but as you note for Mr Basi it's just one of five high powered jobs he has. I'd imagine Mr Basi puts in a good 73 hours a day plus commuting time, after all such responsible roles deserve 20% of his attention. It's only the futures of 20 000 or so people's education in his hands at New College after all.
You're not suggesting Mr Basi awards overseas the awarding of contracts to other businesses in which he has an interest, controlling or otherwise are you? Shame on you! Mr Basi is all about raising the opportunities of people and nurturing them towards academic success and five simultaneous careers that enjoy a happy parasitic coexistence. Give him an OBE I say!”
