Central Pool Academic Appointments should be included in the Staff Plan where an appointment has been made, even if the appointee has not yet commenced.

As schools will receive income for the positions from the university, they are included at 0 cost in school plans. The FTE should be included in the local staff plan.

Potential future appointees in future years should not be included.

Central Pool Academic Appointments are expected to address the Student/Faculty ratio rather than directly add to capacity and so should not be an integral part of additional income generation plans.

Central Pool posts should be included in the staff plan but with a multiplier of 0 rather than by calculating cost and also planning for income.

This ensures that the FTE for the post is captured for the purposes of Staff Student Ratio and comparison against the Core FTE Target, while the school budget does not reflect any costs associated with the post.
