Sir Howard Joseph Newby CBE DL SBS (born 10 December 1947) is a British sociologist. He was appointed vice-chancellor of the University of Liverpool in 2008[1] and retired in December 2014.[2] He was vice-chancellor of the University of Southampton from 1994 to 2001.[1] He was appointed as the vice-chancellor of the University of the West of England (UWE), from March 2006. After 15 months at UWE he moved to the University of Liverpool and was almost immediately put on "gardening leave" at UWE for the duration of his year-long notice period, with the then deputy vice-chancellor, Steve West, acting up to the VC role before his subsequent substantive appointment.[3][4] On 11 February 2014, it was announced that Newby would retire from his role as vice-chancellor of Liverpool in 2015.
