Timeline
Sir Malcolm John Grant,, FAcSS (born 29 November 1947) is a barrister, academic lawyer, and former law professor.
He went on to study at the University of Otago, where he respectively gained an LL.B. (1970), LL.M. (1973) and LL.D. degree (1986).
He became a Lecturer in Law at Southampton University (1972–1986).
He has published extensively in planning and environmental law, and local government law, including serving for 23 years (1981–2004) as the editor of the 8 loose leaf volume Encyclopaedia of Planning Law and Practice of which he remains a consultant editor.
He was then a Professor of Law and Vice-Dean, from 1986 until 1991, of the University College London Faculty of Laws.
In 1991 Grant was elected Professor of Land Economy at the University of Cambridge and a Professorial Fellow of Clare College.
He then served as Head of the Department of Land Economy at Cambridge from 1993 until 2001, and in 2002 was appointed Pro-Vice-Chancellor of the university.
Whilst there he led attempts to reform the governance of the university.
Since 1998, 313,259 more women than men have made university applications.
Malcolm Grant said, "the trend indicated a big fall in the number of university-educated men".
Born and educated in New Zealand, he was the ninth President and Provost of University College London – the head as well as principal academic and administrative officer of the university – for over a decade from 2003 until 2013.
He then served for 7 years as chairman of NHS England (previously known as the NHS Commissioning Board).
In August 2003, Grant was appointed Provost and President of University College London, in succession to Sir Derek Roberts
In 2004, Grant launched "The Campaign for UCL", with the aim of generating £300 million for the university, to expand facilities and provide for new research initiatives.
It was the biggest ever fundraising target set by a university in the United Kingdom, until Cambridge set a £1 billion target for its 800-year anniversary followed by the £3 billion target set by University of Oxford through the Oxford thinking campaign.
Grant said of the "Campaign":
In 2005, on an invitation from The Cheese Grater, he agreed to shave off his moustache if UCL students raised £1500 for Comic Relief, on Red Nose Day.
Unfortunately for his moustache — of 33 years — students and staff duly donated over £2,000.
However, it has since regrown.
In 2006 he spoke out against the Israel university boycotts by the Association of University Lecturers (now the Universities Colleges Union).
In 2006 Grant also controversially stated that European students often had better English skills than many British students.
In 2007 Grant said the achievement and academic gap between male and female students was widening.
In January 2007 he argued that the entire nationwide university approach to funding needed to change.
In regard to UCL's need for additional funding, he stated the reasons in an interview with the BBC:
In June 2007, in response to legal threats from Alan Lakin, husband of a purveyor of herbal remedies, Grant required Professor David Colquhoun to remove his website, "Improbable Science" from university computers.
An outcry from the scientific community ensued, and Grant reconsidered, inviting Dr. Colquhoun to bring the site back to UCL once it had been edited on counsel's advice.
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab – who attempted to explode a bomb on a flight to Detroit in December 2009 – had been the president of the UCL Islamic Society from 2005 to 2006.
He was the fourth president of an official Islamic society at a London university to face terrorist charges in three years.
In a robust response to the criticisms, Grant stated that he had ordered a review into the issue, and went on to restate the case for freedom of speech on university campuses.
He refuted the insinuation that there was a problem with Islamic extremism at UCL, and accused some anonymous below the line contributors to the Telegraph of "Islamophobia".
The Centre for Social Cohesion subsequently part of the neocon Henry Jackson Society issued a press briefing listing a number of alleged Islamist extremists who had recently spoken on the UCL campus after being officially invited by UCL's Islamic groups.
One of its committee members Ruth Dudley Edwards criticised Grant's response, writing: "Rather than producing mealy-mouthed defensive statements... Provost Grant should seriously reconsider his position."
On the other hand, UCL Professor John Sutherland, writing in the Guardian, defended the university's response of constructive engagement, which recommended "debate with extremists" and the promotion of an Islamic Awareness Week: "My own, partisan, view is that UCL's openness is morally justified.... But there are clear risks".
In December 2011, the student union at UCL proposed a vote of No Confidence" in Grant, challenging his appointment as chair of the NHS Commissioning Board. In the ensuing referendum, the students of UCL voted confidence of Grant by 1699 votes to 1185, with 391 abstentions.
In the Telegraph, Grant was criticised for allegedly downplaying Islamist radicalisation and extremism on the UCL campus.
During his 10-year tenure the university grew significantly, and steadily achieved high recognition in global university rankings, attaining place 4 in the world in the QS rankings by 2013.
Five members of his senior team have themselves gone on to become university vice-chancellors: Professor Ed Byrne (Monash; then King's College London); Professor Ian Jacobs (University of New South Wales); Santa Ono (University of Michigan); Dr Steve Currall (University of South Florida) and Professor Anthony Finkelstein (City University, London)
From 2015 to 2022, he was the Chancellor of the University of York.
Grant was born and raised in Oamaru, New Zealand.
He attended the state-run Waitaki Boys' High School and was organist at St Luke's Church.
