Professor, Author
1944 – 2010
Who was Alan Gilbert?
Alan David Gilbert AO was a historian and academic administrator who was until June 2010 the President and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Manchester. During his tenure as vice-chancellor of the University of Melbourne, he pushed for and established Melbourne University Private, a private university offshoot which ultimately failed. This, and his well-known controversial views on private funding of universities, led to Richard Davis in 2002 dubbing him the "doyen of economically rationalist vice-chancellors".
Professor Gilbert died on 27 July 2010 in hospital in Manchester, having suffered from a serious illness for the last few months of his life.
