The chair of the private University of Buckingham’s governing council has resigned, saying that he has lost confidence in the vice-chancellor and “anyone who thinks the university is in good shape is deluded”.
The resignation of Mark Rawlinson, a former chair of UK investment banking at Morgan Stanley, appointed as chair in December 2021, sees a continuation of recent turbulence at Buckingham, which was backed in its early days by Margaret Thatcher.
