Tributes have been paid to Tony Chapman OBE, who was Wales' longest-serving vice chancellor. Professor Chapman was vice chancellor of Cardiff Metropolitan University for 18 years.
Professor Antony Chapman represented the university from 1998 to his retirement in September 2016. He was Wales’ longest serving Vice-Chancellor. He died on Friday, July 1, surrounded by his family. Originally from Canterbury, Professor Chapman held a number of academic and leadership roles at the Universities of Cardiff, Leeds and Wales throughout his career and, among other achievements, is a former President of the British Psychological Society.
In a piece to mark his retirement, then WalesOnline education editor Gareth Evans described him as someone who was mild-mannered but "stuck two fingers up at the Welsh Government". You can read that piece here.
