Together we form an extraordinary community who come together for the greater benefit of the whole
Dr Anthony Freeling
Professor Deborah Prentice, currently Provost of Princeton in the United States, has been nominated for the role. Dr听Freeling, formerly President of Hughes Hall, is the first acting vice-chancellor in the 探花直播鈥檚 history. In his speech he used the analogy of running a relay race and said it was his role to ensure the baton was passed smoothly to his successor.听He paid a heartfelt tribute to Professor Toope for steering Cambridge through some its most challenging times ever and making the 探花直播 even more open to diverse talent, more financially transparent, and more collegial. He noted that the 探花直播 鈥渋s about to begin an exciting new partnership to bring more than 1,000 young African scholars to Cambridge.鈥 听听
Dr Freeling also stressed the importance of the 探花直播鈥檚 mission, describing academic excellence as the touchstone:听鈥淲hether addressing climate change, the cost of living or student wellbeing, the central 探花直播, the academic departments, and the colleges must work more closely than ever, and we must collaborate more effectively than ever. In short, working collaboratively to enhance Cambridge鈥檚 academic excellence will be the guiding principle of my time in office, and my unrelenting focus, before handing over the baton to my successor.鈥
He acknowledged that the months ahead will be challenging, 鈥渘ot least as we make the necessary adjustments to help our communities cope with the country鈥檚 cost of living crisis鈥, but vowed to 鈥渨ork across collegiate Cambridge to help us pull together and achieve this shared purpose.鈥
探花直播 探花直播, he said, could only achieve its aims by working together:听鈥淲e are united in our aspirations, and in our collective enterprise. Together, we form an extraordinary community who come together for the greater benefit of the whole.鈥
Dr Freeling emphasised the 探花直播鈥檚 commitment to freedom of speech: 鈥淲e take great pride in being a self-governing community of scholars. We place great stock in protecting academic freedom. And we make great efforts to embed freedom of expression.鈥 鈥 探花直播 探花直播鈥檚 governance鈥, he added, 鈥渞elies ultimately on members of its Regent House engaging, discussing and voting on the issues that matter most to them.鈥
He ended his Address by urging members of the Regent House 鈥 the 探花直播鈥檚 governing body 鈥 to fully participate in the decision-making processes of the 探花直播 saying it was 鈥渁 democratic right, and democratic duty鈥.
