Alfred Cosier Morris CBE DL (born 12 November 1941)[1] is a British academic.
Educated at Hymers College, Morris went on to study financial control at the University of Lancaster.
[2] In May 2009, it was announced that Morris had been appointed interim vice-chancellor of London Metropolitan University, following the resignation of Brian Roper.
Since 2004, Morris has been a member of the Society of Merchant Venturers, an institution established by royal charter in 1552 whose membership is invited "from individuals who have been successful in their chosen area of business".
[4][5] In response, present day Merchants point to the roles of later members including its Master, Joseph Harford, in chairing the Bristol Society for the Abolition of the Slave Trade which was the first provincial committee founded, in 1788, to promote that object.
