The vice-chancellors’ group Universities UK has promoted its deputy chief executive Alistair Jarvis to head of the organisation.
Jarvis, who previously served as UUK’s director of communications and external relations, took the job on 7 August. He replaced Nicola Dandridge, who stepped down after eight years at the helm and will lead the Office for Students from 1 September.
In a statement on 7 August, Jarvis vowed to promote universities’ shared values of “openness, tolerance, creativity and a commitment to discovery and learning”.
