I have advised the Board of Governors of The Glasgow School of Art that I will be taking a temporary period of absence both as Chair of the Board and as a Lay Governor for personal family reasons.
Given the challenges the School has faced over the past 12 months this was an incredibly difficult decision to take.
The Glasgow School of Art is an amazing institution, full of remarkable, committed and creative people who continually give above and beyond, and I look forward to working with everyone again during the next academic year.
Professor Nora Kearney, currently Vice-Chair, will take over as interim Chair in my absence.
