A crack in the ceiling?

Wales now has its first woman vice chancellor of a university - Julie Lydon has been appointed as Vice Chancellor of the University of Glamorgan.  For all their supposedly progressive credentials, Wales's universities were stubbornly resistant to women entering their higher ranks, so this is good news.  But EHRC's review 'Who Runs Wales' shows that there is still a long long way to go. But still - ever crack in the glass ceiling makes it more likely it will eventually shatter. Roll on!!

    Lets hope she remembers the women in HE still needing support and that also she runs the post as a woman , not a pseudo man
