University mourns death of John Blundell

It is with very great regret that the University has learned of the untimely death of John Blundell. John was a distinguished Director General of the Institute of Economic Affairs and was closely associated with the work of the Institute for Humane Studies, the Heritage Foundation and the Atlas Network in the United States. He was a staunch supporter of the University and was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Science in 2010. On his travels to conferences and other engagements across the world he was always happy to act as an informal ambassador on behalf of the University and his advocacy and enthusiasm will be greatly missed.
