(Professor Sir Peter Scott )〕 He then worked as a leader writer for ''The Times'',〔Anglia Ruskin University (1998).

Dr. Howard Fredrics, Case No. D2009-0276 )〕 The lecturer was subsequently convicted of harassing Scott via the website;〔Melanie Newman, ("Academic to argue that conviction was unlawful" ). ''Times Higher Education'', 9 March 2010〕 the conviction was later set aside, and he was acquitted in a re-trial.〔Melanie Newman, ("Fresh twist in Fredrics v Scott case" ), ''Times Higher Education'', 26 April 2010〕〔("Fredrics cleared of harassment charge" ), ''Times Higher Education'', 23 July 2010〕〔Sarah Cunane, ("Disgruntled ex-lecturer and his muse show stomach for a fight" ), ''Times Higher Education'', 3 May 2012〕 Scott stepped down as Vice-Chancellor of Kingston at the end of 2010 (six months before he was due to retire) to become Professor of Higher Education Studies at the Institute of Education, University of London.〔Simon Baker, ("Kingston v–c to step down in December" ), ''Times Higher Education'', 28 May 2010〕〔Kingston University, (Office of the Vice-Chancellor )〕 He also writes on educational issues for ''The Guardian''.〔''The Guardian.
