Oxford to get female chief exec for 1st time
Print Edition
THE University of Oxford said it had nominated a female vice-chancellor for the first time in its history, naming terrorism expert Professor Louise Richardson to the chief executive role.
Richardson, 56, who has previously taught at Harvard and is now vice-chancellor of the University of St Andrews in Scotland, will be the first woman to hold the position since it was created in 1230.
Chris Patten, who holds the ceremonial post of chancellor, said the nominating panel was “deeply impressed by Richardson’s strong commitment to the educational and scholarly values which Oxford holds dear.”
“Her distinguished record both as an educational leader and as an outstanding scholar provides an excellent basis for her to lead Oxford in the coming years,” said Patten, the last British governor of Hong Kong.
Pending confirmation from the university’s 5,000-strong Congregation, the Irish-born Richardson will take over on January 1, 2016 and serve a seven-year term.
