It is my view that many (most?) senior decision makers at the universities need to continue the mantra that research is pre-eminent, due to the nature of government funding.
Regrettably this can lead to staff being used in teaching roles based on their research efforts, obviously being a good researcher does not necessarily make one an engaging and effective teacher. Often the inverse may be true, the characteristics that make one a good researcher, may make them less likely to be a great teacher.
