John Hayden RIP
On behalf of the NUI Senate, the Chancellor, Dr Maurice Manning, expressed his sympathy to the family of the late John
Hayden. Dr Manning said ‘his substantial contribution to higher education in Ireland, where he served as head of the HEA from 1984 to 2004, could not be understated’. The University, in recognition of this contribution, conferred the degree of Doctorate of Laws, honoris causa, on Dr Hayden in 2004.
The citation, given on that occasion by Professor Aidan Moran, then Vice-President and Registrar, University College Cork, is available from the link below.
