Witty, who graduated from The University of Nottingham in 1985 with a BA in Economics, said, “I am honoured to become Chancellor of this great institution, which, alongside my parents and my school, I would credit with having made me who I am.

There was no mention of the £12 million donation toward the construction of new research laboratories at the University that Glaxo made last year, the largest single donation the University have ever received. [Link]
No mention of Witty's role in the Wellbutrin/Zyban debacle [Link]
No mention either of Witty refusing to speak with patients harmed by Glaxo's product, Seroxat [Link]
