For the first time in 800 years, a woman is about to be appointed as VC of Oxford University.
The University of Oxford is to appoint its first female vice-chancellor since its records began nearly 800 years ago, after Prof Louise Richardson wa nominated for the university’s most senior office.

Richardson, currently the principal and vice-
chancellor of St Andrews University, is an expert on the growth of terrorist movements.

Students and staff hailed the nomination as a
momentous event in Oxford’s history. Richardson, 56, told the Guardian she hoped her nomination would inspire current and potential female undergraduates. (UK Guardian)
