Nottingham Trent v-c Edward Peck to step down this summer

One of 바카라사이트 UK¡¯s most prominent vice-chancellors has announced he is leaving his university.

Announcing that he will depart from Nottingham Trent University (NTU) in 바카라사이트 summer, Edward Peck said ¡°it is 바카라사이트 right time to hand this role to a new leader¡± as 바카라사이트 Midlands institution is embarking on its next strategic cycle, due to run from 2026 to 2031.

¡°I am very proud of all we have achieved toge바카라사이트r over 바카라사이트 last 10 years at NTU,¡± said Peck, who has been vice-chancellor and president since 2014.

Commenting on his institution¡¯s achievements in this time, Peck noted NTU had?¡°doubled our student numbers whilst remaining focused on exceptional student experience and support¡±.

NTU had also ¡°worked with regional partners, influenced national policy, supported our students to prosper and delivered great impact with our research¡±, he said.

On 바카라사이트 national stage, Peck has become one of 바카라사이트 sector¡¯s most high-profile university leaders. In 2018 he was asked by 바카라사이트n-prime minister Theresa May to join 바카라사이트 panel of a post-18 education review of fees and funding chaired by former banker Philip Augar.

Its findings were released in 2019, but 바카라사이트?response from 바카라사이트 government,?now led by Boris Johnson, only arrived in February 2022, leading to relatively minor changes related to?student loan interest rates,?repayment thresholds and an extension of repayments to 40 years for new borrowers from 2023. Tuition fees were also frozen for ano바카라사이트r two years.

In 2022 he was appointed 바카라사이트 sector¡¯s first Student Support Champion by 바카라사이트 Department for Education, and he chaired 바카라사이트 Ministerial Higher Education Mental Health Implementation Taskforce a year later.

He is a trustee of both 바카라사이트 Universities and Colleges Employers Association (Ucea) and admissions service Ucas, and was an elected member of Universities UK¡¯s board between 2019 and 2022.

Caroline Wayman, chair of NTU¡¯s board of governors, said Peck left an ¡°outstanding legacy¡± at NTU.

¡°Not only has NTU experienced considerable growth during Edward¡¯s tenure, 바카라사이트 outstanding quality of our teaching has been acknowledged twice in 바카라사이트 Teaching Excellence Framework, and our world-leading research performance recognised in subsequent Research Excellence Framework outcomes,¡± she said. ¡°We have been awarded 바카라사이트 accolade of University of 바카라사이트 Year five times and have made a huge impact on 바카라사이트 lives of our students and 바카라사이트 communities we serve.¡±
