ULaw's CEO has stepped down after just five months.
Dr Stelios Platis, an economist who had been a politician in Cyprus, only took on the role in May this year, so he barely had time to get his knees under the desk.
As RollOnFriday revealed earlier this week, the new CEO is Professor Andrea Nollent, the university's Vice-Chancellor. Unlike Platis, she has both a law degree and, as ULaw's VC and the former Dean of Nottingham Trent University, a background in education. She is the third CEO of The University of Law since its new owners, Global University Systems, acquired it last year. When John Latham left after the sale he was replaced by former Stansted and Edinburgh airport managing director David Johnston, who lasted nine months before Platis popped up.
A ULaw spokesman said that “following the successful restructuring of the University Executive", the board of the GUS group has "asked Dr. Stelios Platis to undertake a new assignment specifically focussed on the strategic development of GUS international operations”. Translation: we've got him an office with a nice nameplate and a seat that flushes.
