UCC appoint head of academic school

A BUSINESSMAN has been appointed to head one of University College Cork’s four new academic schools following a controversial selection process.

John Coleman was president and chief operating officer of the Bose Corporation in the United States until last year, having previously managed the company’s operation in Co Monaghan.

His appointment as Head of College of Business and Law was formally announced by UCC president Professor Gerry Wrixon last Friday.
