The Principal, Professor Anton Muscatelli, has given a robust statement about the University of Glasgow’s attitude to Europe.
In an interview for Campus e-News, he said: “We are going to be a University that turns towards Europe, no matter what Brexit means at the end of the day.
“One thing I want to emphasis to our colleagues and to our students, no matter where they come from from within or from outwith the EU, we are an inclusive and diverse community.”
He said Scotland had voted to remain and was taking a very different approach to the Brexit debate. On the development of the Gilmorehill campus, following the acquisition of the former Western Infirmary site, Professor Muscatelli said a final capital plan would be produced before Christmas which would seek to maximise the benefits of new buildings and facilities for our students and for colleagues.
