He was appointed Vice-Chancellor of the University of Leicester in 1999, succeeding Ken Edwards. He was President of the British Sociological Association 1989-1991.[2] He is currently chair of the board of GSM London.[3] Burgess received his BA degree from the University of Durham in 1971 and his PhD degree from the University of Warwick in 1981. He remained at Warwick as a lecturer and became Professor of Sociology in 1987. He then rose through the ranks, serving as Senior Pro-Vice-Chancellor 1995–99.[1] Burgess then moved to the University of Leicester as Vice-Chancellor, introducing sweeping changes that enhanced the university's reputation and saw it enter the top-20 institutions in many league tables.[4] Burgess is chair of the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS), the Research Information Network,[5] and the UUK/Guild HE Teacher Education Advisory Group.[6] In 2007, Burgess chaired the steering group that produced the Burgess Report, calling for sweeping changes in university degree classification that would replace the established system of first- and second class degrees.[7][8][9] Burgess was knighted in the 2010 New Year Honours.[10] He became an Academician of the Social Sciences in 2000. He received an Honorary DLitt degree from the University of Staffordshire in 1998 and a DUniv degree from the University of Northampton in 2007.[1] He married Hilary Margaret Mary Joyce in 1974 and lists his recreations as walking, music and "some gardening".[1] Sir Bob and Lady Burgess live at Knighton Hall, the University of Leicester's traditional vice-chancellor's residence in Knighton, Leicester. Burgess's record in building both the university's academic reputation and its campus buildings have earned him the nickname Bob the Builder among his university colleagues.[11] Burgess retired from the post of Vice-Chancellor in September 2014, at age 67.[12] He was succeeded by Professor Paul Boyle.[2] References1. ^1 2 3 BURGESS, Prof. Robert George’, Who's Who 2010, A & C Black, 2010; online edn, Oxford University Press, Dec 2009 ; online edn, Nov 2009 accessed 31 Dec 2009 {{s-start}}{{s-aca}}{{s-bef | before = Jennifer Platt }}{{s-ttl | title = President of the British Sociological Association2. ^1 {{cite web |title=University welcomes new President and Vice-Chancellor |publisher=University of Leicester |url=http://www2.le.ac.uk/news/blog/2014-archive-1/september/university-welcomes-new-president-and-vice-chancellor |accessdate=2014-10-08}} 3. ^{{cite web|author=GSM London|date=April 2015|url=http://www.gsm.org.uk/news/professor-sir-bob-burgess-joins-gsm-london-as-chair-of-board|title=Professor Sir Bob Burgess joins GSM London as chair of board|publisher=GSM London|accessdate=2 July 2015}} 4. ^[https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2009/dec/31/education-new-year-honours Services to education prominent in New Year honours list] The Guardian, 31 December 2009 5. ^Advisory Board – Research Information Network 6. ^Teacher education - Policy areas - Policy and research - Universities UK 7. ^Report outlines future reforms for degree classification, University of Leicester, 16 October 2007 8. ^Burgess report on degrees will help employers, University of Bedfordshire, 18 October 2007 9. ^[https://www.independent.co.uk/news/education/higher/bob-burgess-i-hope-student-records-make-degree-classes-obsolete-1814588.html Bob Burgess: I hope student records make degree classes obsolete], The Independent, 5 November 2009 10. ^{{London Gazette |issue=59282 |date=31 December 2009 |page=1 |supp=y }} 11. ^{{cite news |author= |title=Bye bye Bob |url=http://leicester.tab.co.uk/2013/09/23/bye-bye-bob/ |newspaper=The Tab |date=23 September 2013 |accessdate=20 December 2013 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131220213841/http://leicester.tab.co.uk/2013/09/23/bye-bye-bob/ |archivedate=20 December 2013 |df= }} 12. ^{{cite news|last1=Dryden|first1=Fiona|title=Retiring Professor Sir Robert Burgess reflects on his career at the University of Leicester|url=http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/Retiring-Professor-Sir-Robert-Burgess-reflects/story-22281699-detail/story.html|date=9 August 2014}} | years = 1989 - 1991}}{{s-aft | after = John Westergaard }}{{s-bef | before = Ken Edwards }}{{s-ttl | title = Vice-Chancellor of the University of Leicester | years = 1999 - 2014}}{{s-aft | after = Paul Boyle }}{{end}}{{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Burgess, Robert}} 13 : 1947 births|Living people|Alumni of the College of the Venerable Bede, Durham|Alumni of Durham University|Alumni of the University of Warwick|Fellows of the Academy of Social Sciences|Academics of the University of Leicester|British sociologists|Deputy Lieutenants of Leicestershire|Knights Bachelor|Presidents of the British Sociological Association|Vice-Chancellors of the University of Leicester|People from Knighton, Leicester |
