In Memoriam
CP LEE
We are sad to announce the death of Dr CP Lee, aged 70, a Manchester music legend and academic who will have touched the lives of many of our alumni and will be missed greatly. Frances Piper, Academic Director (Media City Directorate), said: “CP was a much loved and respected colleague, and one who always brought the sun into the room with him. I first worked with him nearly 30 years ago, and he was one of the cleverest and kindest people I've ever had the fortune to know - a big pair of shoulders as well as a great lecturer, academic and cultural mover and shaker. He will be very much missed by many, many friends and colleagues at the University.”
LORD JONATHAN SACKS
We are saddened to hear of the loss of former chief rabbi Lord Sacks. Lord Sacks served as the chief rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth – the figurehead of British Jews – for 22 years, stepping down in September 2013. Lord Sacks was awarded an honorary Doctor of Letters from the University in 2013.
SIR HAROLD EVANS
Former Sunday Times editor, and son of Salford, Sir Harold Evans has died at the age of 92. A dedicated newspaper editor with a reputation for tackling social issues and injustices through his journalism, Sir Harold gave a voice and platform to those who needed it most. His many crusades resulted in a national screening programme for cervical cancer; a posthumous pardon for Timothy Evans, who was wrongly hanged for murder in 1950; and achieving greater compensation for those affected by Thalidomide. His 70-year career also saw him work as a magazine founder, book publisher, author and - at the time of his death - Reuters' editor-at-large. The son of a Salford train driver, Sir Harold visited the University in 2011 and proudly accepted an honorary
doctorate.
