ProfessorAlison Richard gained her Professorship at Yale, not Cambridge, and University statutes indicate that she is not strictly entitled to use the title in office. The Cambridge University Reporter upholds this, and does not use the title. However, this technicality is widely ignored and she is often referred to by, and uses herself, the title "Professor".] Alison Fettes Richard (born 1 March 1948 in Kent, England) is the current Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge. She is the first female Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge since the post became executive rather than just ceremonial.

Richard was an undergraduate at Newnham College, Cambridge, before gaining a PhD at University of London, and went on to have an academic career in Physical Anthropology with a specialization in lemurs.

She chaired the Department of Anthropology at Yale from 1986 to 1990, and later served as director of Yale's Peabody Museum of Natural History. Following that she was Franklin Muzzy Crosby Professor of the Human Environment in 1998. From 1994 until 2002, she was Provost of Yale University and was offered the post of Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge in 2003 following the end of Professor Alec Broers' seven year term.

She is president of the Cambridge Network. [http://www.cambridgenetwork.co.uk/aboutus/background/ Cambridge Network / About Us / Our Services ] ]
