Wikipedia description:

Tim Blackman is a British academic. He has been the vice-chancellor of the Open University since October 2019. It was announced in 2024 that owing to ill-health he would step-down from his position. He previously was the vice-chancellor of Middlesex University from 2015 to 2019. At The Open University he was partly responsible for moving 4000+ teaching staff onto permanent contracts and soon after he initiated the institute's first use of 'fire and rehire' of Associate Lecturers, The Open University disputes this characterisation of events. The measures were introduced to end the practice of Associate Lecturers working excessive hours, with some lecturers having contracts totalling in excess of 100 hours a week.
