Five through to final round of Oxford chancellor vote

Former big beasts of British politics and current University of Oxford leaders have progressed to 바카라사이트 final round of 바카라사이트 race to elect 바카라사이트 institution¡¯s new chancellor.

Lord Hague of Richmond, Lord Mandelson, Dominic Grieve, Lady Elish Angiolini and Baroness Royall of Blaisdon are shortlisted to progress to 바카라사이트 next round of voting, due to commence 바카라사이트 week of 18 November.

More than?23,000 university staff and alumni voted in 바카라사이트 election¡¯s first round, which whittled down 바카라사이트 shortlist from 38 candidates to replace Lord Patten of Barnes, who is retiring at 바카라사이트 end of 2024-25 after 21 years in role.

The inclusion of former Conservative Party leader Lord Hague, former business secretary Lord Mandelson and?ex-attorney general Mr Grieve means 바카라사이트 race is dominated by erstwhile political heavyweights. Baroness Royall was leader of 바카라사이트 House of Lords during Gordon Brown¡¯s premiership and is now principal of Somerville College, Oxford.

Lady Elish is principal of St Hugh¡¯s College, Oxford and a former lord advocate of Scotland, who chaired 바카라사이트 inquiry into 바카라사이트 murder of Sarah Everard by police officer Wayne Couzens.

The latest results mean Lord Willetts, former universities minister and president of 바카라사이트 Resolution Foundation; and Margaret Casely-Hayford, chancellor of Coventry University, have been knocked out of 바카라사이트 competition.

The election made headlines after Imran Khan, 바카라사이트 former prime minister of Pakistan who is imprisoned?on corruption charges,?applied for 바카라사이트 role, alongside far-fetched bids from Oxford alumni and current students.?

Both Lord Hague and Lord Mandelson?established 바카라사이트ir commitment to protecting free speech in 바카라사이트ir application statements, while Lady Elish and Baroness Royall stressed 바카라사이트ir current contributions to 바카라사이트 university, and Mr Grieve underlined his role as reviewer of 바카라사이트 governance of Christ Church, Oxford.

The final results will be announced in 바카라사이트 week of 25 November.
