High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Professor Simon Francis Lee (born 29 March 1957, Gillingham, Kent) was the Vice-Chancellor of Leeds Metropolitan University, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England from 2003 to 2009. His resignation was announced on 14 January 2009., following allegations of bullying. This is strongly disputed, with the Times Higher Education Supplement stating that "Simon Lee, vice-chancellor of Leeds Metropolitan University, departed after falling out with Ninian Watt, chairman of the council, over whether or not to raise tuition fees." Lee is currently, with Jill Adam, developing a business called Level Partnerships to safeguard the legacy and promote the concept of partnerships.
