The result dashed hopes that the university would elect its first woman chancellor in 800 years
- British former Conservative party leader and ex-foreign secretary William Hague was elected as the University of Oxford’s 160th chancellor on Wednesday, after four rounds of voting.
The result dashed hopes that the university would elect its first woman chancellor in the role’s 800-year history, with Hague’s final round opponent Elish Angiolini garnering 11,006 votes, compared to his 12,609. “What happens at Oxford in the next decade is critical to the success of the UK … My heart and soul are in Oxford and I will dedicate myself in the coming years to serving the university I love.”
He will be inaugurated early next year and will serve a 10-year term, succeeding Chris Patten, also a former Conservative politician and the last British governor of Hong Kong, who announced his retirement in February.
