…Liverpool John Moores University. Why? Because their new chancellor is Brian May, lead guitarist of Queen. Isn’t that cool?
That’s pretty damn cool, but he just got his doctorate. Has he spent much time in academia or administration beyond being a grad student? I still think it would be cool to have him as my president regardless, but that doesn’t seem like a job to be given lightly
From the article, it strikes me as a mostly ceremonial position.
He’s replacing Tony Blairs’ wife, so yeah I’m thinking ceremonial, albeit still important. I mean seriously, talk about a role model!
Yeah, the position of Chancellor in an English university (don’t know about Scotland) is more or less purely ceremonial. Most of the power lies with the Vice and Pro-Vice Chancellors.
