An experienced former vice-chancellor has been appointed to lead the financially stricken University of East Anglia.
David Maguire, who ran the University of Greenwich for eight years until 2019 and has since been interim vice-chancellor of Dundee and Sussex universities, will take over the Norwich-based university toward the end of May, it was announced on 27 March.
Announcing the university’s next vice-chancellor, UEA’s chair of council Sally Howes said Professor Maguire had “immense strategic and financial planning expertise across the academic, public and private sectors with a track record of delivering success”.
“He will lead us through a time of significant transformation and change as we work to secure our future financial sustainability,” added Dr Howes.
