The University of Bath intend for their new Chancellor to be the Earl of Wessex, Prince Edward.

University management will be putting their recommendation to the University Court for approval in March. He would replace Conservative politician Lord Tugendhat, who is standing down after fifteen years in office.

This appointment is good news for anyone that respects Prince Edward and his work. The Vice-Chancellor, Dame Glynis Breakwell, said “as chancellor, his Royal Highness can make a major contribution to the life of the university.”
