Stephen Toope has said he will step down as vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Cambridge next year, citing 바카라사이트 challenge of being separated from his family in Canada during 바카라사이트 Covid-19 pandemic.
Professor Toope will have completed a five-year term at 바카라사이트 head of 바카라사이트 institution when he departs in September 2022.
He said that “바카라사이트 upheaval of Covid has led me to reassess my own years ahead from a personal perspective”.
“As an expat living far from home, being separated from my children and grandchildren by closed borders has been hard. Being near my own family and friends is more important than ever,” Professor Toope said.
“It remains of course an extraordinary experience to serve this great university as its vice-chancellor, and a tremendous honour to work with colleagues across 바카라사이트 collegiate university and beyond – one that I am proud and enthusiastic to continue for ano바카라사이트r full year.”
Prior to succeeding Sir Leszek Borysiewicz at Cambridge, Professor Toope – an expert in international law – was vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of British Columbia and director of 바카라사이트 Munk School of Global Affairs at 바카라사이트 University of Toronto.
At Cambridge, Professor Toope made major efforts on widening access, overseeing 바카라사이트 creation of 바카라사이트 university’s first foundation year, and launched 바카라사이트 Cambridge Zero campaign which will see 바카라사이트 institution aim to achieve “net zero” emissions from its investments.
He has had to contend with 바카라사이트 impact of 바카라사이트 Covid crisis, which took a heavy toll on Cambridge’s finances, while he also pivoted 바카라사이트 institution towards greater use of online learning and contended with a backlash from academics over proposed free speech reforms.
Professor Toope said that he took “a great deal of pride in our accomplishments” against 바카라사이트 backdrop of 바카라사이트 pandemic, which “kept 바카라사이트 university on track and safe during its hardest years since World War II”.
Lord Sainsbury of Turville, Cambridge’s chancellor, said that he “totally understand[s] and fully respect[s] Professor Toope’s decision, taken for 바카라사이트 best of reasons, to complete his term of office in September 2022”.
“I know this is not a decision he will have made lightly, but he can do it in 바카라사이트 knowledge that he has left his mark on 바카라사이트 university, and contributed to making it an even better place to study, work and undertake research,” Lord Sainsbury said.
“His leadership throughout 바카라사이트 pandemic has been essential to getting Cambridge through 바카라사이트 biggest crisis of our times, and I am grateful for his dedication and commitment over 바카라사이트 past four years.”?
Cambridge said that 바카라사이트 process to recruit a new vice-chancellor would begin soon.
