Sir Anton Muscatelli has announced that he is to retire as the principal of the University of Glasgow next year.
Sir Anton, who studied at the institution and has led it since 2009, will not seek a fourth term and instead will hand over to a successor at the end of September 2025.
In a statement, the economist said this was an opportune time to hand over the leadership of the university – with Glasgow at the end of a strategic planning cycle and having completed the first phase of its campus development.
He said the university was in a very good place academically – with Glasgow finishing top in Scotland in the 2021 Research Excellence Framework in terms of its grade-point average – and financially.
