Anyone prepared to come in and provide more detail about what happened here - and why?

Subject: Jenkins replaces "embarrased" Ogilivie
This news hasn't been broadcast on the list and, though many UK people will
be up-to-date on it, I thought it worth posting for those not so connected.
It is edited from last Friday's Times Higher:
Society accused of stalling funding: Caroline Davis
The Royal Society was recalled by MPs this week to explain events leading up
to the resignation of Bridget Ogilivie from the Committee on the Public
Understanding of Science... Dame Bridget resigned as chair of Copus in May,
accusing the Royal Society of holding back progress on increasing funding to
remodel the organisation...
In her resignation statement, Dame Bridget says: "I am highly embarrassed by
the total paralysis shown so clearly by the last two meetings of Copus
council. As things stand, it is pointless to continue."
In a joint statement this week, the founding partners announced that Lord
Jenkin of Roding would take over as Copus chair. It added: "We share Dame
Bridget's disappointment that more rapid progress was not made in mapping
out a new role for Copus."
