Diana Mary Warwick, Baroness Warwick of Undercliffe (born 16 July 1945) is a British politician and Labour member of the House of Lords. She was formerly a trade unionist and the Chief Executive of Universities UK.

Background

Warwick was born in Bradford, Yorkshire and was educated at a local grammar school.[1] She then attended Bedford College, University of London (now part of Royal Holloway, University of London), graduating with a BSc Sociology 1967.[2]

Career

Previously, Warwick was Assistant Secretary of the Civil and Public Services Association from 1972,[1] General Secretary of the Association of University Teachers from 1983 to 1992 and Chief Executive of the Westminster Foundation for Democracy from 1992 to 1995.[2] In 1992, Warwick left trade unions to become chief executive of the Westminster Foundation for Democracy,[1] and was also Chair of the international development charity Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO).[2] Warwick was Chief Executive of Universities UK for 14 years.[2][3]

On 10 July 1999, she was created a life peer as Baroness Warwick of Undercliffe, of Undercliffe in the County of West Yorkshire.[4][5]

When she was created a life peer, some commentators felt that she could not combine running the Committee of Vice Chancellors and Principals (CVCP) alongside being a Labour baroness in the House of Lords, and there were calls for her resignation.[1][6][7]

Warwick was Chair of the Human Tissue 2 Authority from 2010 to 2014.[8] From 2020 to 2022, Warwick was Chair of the National Housing Federation.[9][10] She is also Chair of International Students House, London.[2]

Warwick was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Science (Hon DSc) degree by the University of Warwick in 2022.[8]
