  • Wikipedia 21 Jan 2024: (Alan David Gilbert AO (11 September 1944 – 27 July 2010) was an Australian historian and academic administrator. He studied at the Australian National University (BA 1965, MA) and Nuffield College, Oxford (DPhil 1973). He was a lecturer then professor in history at the University of New South Wales (and pro-vice chancellor, 1988-1990). In 1991 he became vice-chancellor and principal of the University of Tasmania. In 1996, Gilbert was appointed vice-chancellor of the University of Melbourne. He played the key role in establishing and subsequently developing Melbourne University Private (closed in 2005). In 2004 he moved to be appointed president and vice chancellor of the new University of Manchester in England, which absorbed both the Victoria University and UMIST, with high ambitions, though considerable unrest among university staff. His appointment ended in January 2010; he died in hospital in Manchester on 27 July 2010.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Gilbert_(Australian_academic)
