Up for the challenge of a sticky wicket

Article Abstract:

John Hood has been nominated as the next vice-chancellor of Oxford University. Hood is currently the vice-chancellor of Auckland University in New Zealand, where he is credited with turning around the performance of the university, which with 31,502 total enrolments is the biggest higher education institution in New Zealand. It is acknowledged that Hood will have the energy for the job at Oxford, but it is also noted that he will have a tough challenge ahead as the set up of Oxford is markedly different to that of Auckland.
