Brief description of the paper 

At its meeting on 21 May 2015, ASC received the 12-month update report from the review of Computing Science which detailed the responses and the progress made to date in implementing the recommendations. ASC noted that the Convener considered the recommendations had been given reflective and thorough consideration and commended the School, in particular, the Head of School, for the actions taken following the Review. The ASC reviewers were satisfied that the actions taken to address Recommendations 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, and 14 appeared to be reasonable and appropriate. It was agreed that reports on further progress should be requested in relation to the following recommendations for the November meeting of ASC:
