Libya: LSE director resigns over university's Gaddafi links
Libya: LSE director resigns over university's Gaddafi links - Telegraph: "Sir Howard Davies said he recognised that LSE's reputation had 'suffered' over a £300,000 research grant from Col Gaddafi's son, Saif al-Islam, meaning he must step down.
He said the decision to accept the grant had 'backfired' and expressed regret that he had visited Libya to advise the regime about how it could modernise its financial institutions.
The LSE council has commissioned an independent inquiry into the university's relationship with Libya and Gaddafi's family."
