wikipedia on Anton Muscatelli:
Professor Muscatelli succeeded Sir Muir Russell as Principal and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Glasgow in October 2009.[6] One of his first actions was creation of a post of Senior Vice-Principal, with responsibility for internationalisation, a key aspect of his strategy for the University.[8] He also put forward proposals to the University Court which would see the University's current nine faculties restructured into four Colleges: College of Arts, College of Biomedicine, College of Engineering and Physical Sciences and College of Law, Business, Social Sciences and Education [9] The plans for restructuring have since been approved and will be in place by August 2010. Such structures already exist at other universities in the UK, including Aberdeen, Birmingham, Dundee and Edinburgh.

Anton Muscatelli was born on 1 January 1962 in Italy to Ambrogio and Rosellina Muscatelli.[2] His father, who was head of a shipping company, relocated the family first to Holland and then to Glasgow.[3] Anton was educated at The High School of Glasgow, at the time a publicly-funded grammar school, and the University of Glasgow, where he graduated M.A. (Hons) in Political Economy (1984) and took a Ph.D. in Economics (1989).Professor Muscatelli has been a consultant to the World Bank and the European Commission, and was a member of the Panel of Economic Advisers of the Secretary of State for Scotland from 1998-2000. Since 2007, he has been an adviser to the House of Commons Treasury Select Committee on monetary policy, and in 2008 he was appointed to chair an independent expert group for the Calman Commission on Devolution, set up by the Scottish Parliament and led by the Chancellor of the University of Glasgow, Sir Kenneth Calman. This includes experts from the UK, Europe, and North America.
