We would like to provide an update on senior leadership positions in the University.

Following recent changes and ongoing transitions, the University has decided not to proceed with the appointment of a new Chief Financial Officer at this time. This decision reflects the need to maintain stability and continuity in our leadership team and is in no way a reflection on the successful candidate. As a result, and with considerable regret, we confirm that Rita Akushie will not now be joining the University as our new CFO. We and Rita had been looking forward to her joining us, and we are very grateful to Rita for her engagement in this process.

We are pleased that Anthony Odgers has kindly agreed to continue in his role to help guide the University through this period of change.

We recognise the significant change in leadership positions in the central University administration at present through absence, vacancy and recent arrival. Interim arrangements are now in place to cover for the Registrary’s prolonged period away from the office. These roles are key to providing strategic and operational stability and leadership to the University, and we would like to assure you that organisational resilience will continue to be of the highest priority.
