This followed comments on April 12 from a former vice-chancellor, who stated that university leaders should have taken a stronger stance against funding system reforms made over a decade ago, which have allowed a small number of institutions to prosper at the expense of the wider sector. Earlier, on April 9, the university appointed Jo Haworth, Chief Nurse at Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust, as Visiting Professor in its School of Nursing, Midwifery, Allied and Public Health, tasked with supporting strategic academic development, teaching, and curriculum innovation. On March 19, the University and College Union (UCU) urged its members at the university to work remotely amid rising meningitis cases, although the institution kept its campus open and maintained in-person teaching.
