A huge loss to humankind. Jonathan was a gentleman. Our sympathies with all who grieve his loss.

Deeply saddened to hear of the death of Jonathan Nicholls, former Chair of the Association of Heads of University Association @AHUAUK and Registrary of Cambridge University. Jonathan was an immense figure in the sector - a true leader, a caring individual and a great role model.
