Dundee University is appointing former Abertay boss Nigel Seaton to take over as interim principal after a mass resignation rocked the institution. Professor Seaton will take following on a short term basis following the abrupt exit of Shane O’Neill, who quit on Thursday after he was criticised in the independent Gillies Review. Mr Seaton was previously the principal of Abertay University, serving in the role for a decade between 2012 and 2022.
