I am reminded of the lyrics by the Who..
'Meet the new boss...same as the old boss'.
I must admit of being friends with a couple of people who worked for Peter Horricks when he was in charge of the BBC world service, they had said he displayed poor leadership skills there and they expected him to do the same with the OU.
So Mr Horricks jumped the day before he was getting sacked.... so a new vice-vice-chancellor needs to be found...
And now the Daily Mail is running a 'Save the open university' campaign.
Perhaps we have dark days ahead...
