Huw Edwards resigns from Cardiff University honorary posts

There have been calls for organisations to immediately cut ties with the disgraced former BBC news presenter.

After his guilty plea, Cardiff University had said it was “actively reviewing procedures in relation to the honorary fellowship award and his position as an honorary professor”.

Bangor University also said it was reviewing an honorary fellowship it had granted him.

The Learned Society of Wales, the country’s national scholarly academy, also said it was reviewing Edwards’s fellowship, to which he was elected in May 2023, in the wake of his guilty plea.

The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama said: “Following a unanimous vote by the College’s Board of Trustees, a decision has been taken to withdraw Huw Edwards’ Honorary Fellowship of the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.”

Swansea University confirmed Edwards no longer has an honorary role, adding that it had “no further comment on this matter”.
