Michael Gunn elected Million+ chair

Michael Gunn, who has been in 바카라사이트 top role at Staffordshire since 2011, replaces Michael Driscoll, vice-chancellor of Middlesex University, who has been acting chair since January.

Professor Gunn, a former pro vice-chancellor at 바카라사이트 University of Derby, said he ¡°wholeheartedly¡± endorsed 바카라사이트 group¡¯s ¡°unique focus on 바카라사이트 wider interests of students, 바카라사이트 economy and society¡±.

¡°Britain needs new ideas and markets to revitalise our regions and meet 바카라사이트 challenges of 바카라사이트 modern world,¡± he said.

¡°This will require politicians and university leaders to have 바카라사이트 vision to invest in 바카라사이트 talent of our students and graduates and 바카라사이트 imagination to rethink research and innovation funding to exploit fully 바카라사이트 potential of all universities.

¡°The opportunity to study at university is also about 바카라사이트 search for a more just and equal society. I am determined that this remains on 바카라사이트 agenda.¡±

Professor Driscoll, who held 바카라사이트 acting role since Patrick McGhee, former vice-chancellor of University of East London, stepped down suddenly due to ill health, said Professor Gunn ¡°would provide 바카라사이트 necessary leadership and conviction¡±.

He added that he would also ¡°make 바카라사이트 case for 바카라사이트 investment in higher education which students, universities and 바카라사이트 economy need¡±.
