Chancellor of Oxford - candidate statements

[MissMaryBennet]

Election is in the week that starts 28 October.

Candidate statements are here:

Haven't read them all yet (the quality of the candidates and the statements seems to be very varied) but I note William Hague specifically mentions freedom of speech.

I have 27 years work experience with different departments and learns from my mistakes.

Interesting submission from Anwar Baig

Haig would get my vote

Good to see Peter Mandelson on free speech
'I believe in freedom of expression and in tolerance and respect for others’ views. Freedom of speech, although uncomfortable for many of us at times, is fundamental to university life and we must continue to uphold it '

I’d like to see Dominic Grieve get the position.

The Labour Party has shelved the Freedom of Speech in Universities Act. Has he spoken out about that?
Unfortunately the Labour Party is shot through with coerced speech
