Is no one going to talk about his ludicrous defence of his own absurd policy of allowing racists and preachers of hate at ISOC, as so well documented by Douglas Murray?
Or does that not fit with the priorities of the Cultural Marxists which generally infest these kind of articles and issues on Leftypedia.

Should the "as provost" section be in chronological order? It makes more sense that way in my opinion. Privong 01:26, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
I've removed Image:Malcolm Grant.jpg, as it's unfree. There should be no problem at all getting a photo of him - he's a recognizable, high-profile figure at a public institution - and as such this is easily replaceable; note the criteria that no free equivalent is available or could be created. There's certainly nothing remarkable about this image that means we have to use it to pass commentary on the photograph itself...
I've left the moustachless photo further down in the article, though - free though it is, it doesn't quite seem right to use it as the main image! Shimgray | talk | 13:17, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
Born in New Zealand in 1947, Professor Grant was awarded the LLB (1970), LLM (1973) and LLD (1986) by the Otago University, New Zealand. He then immigrated to England in 1986. The above is a copyright violation from: here, without a thorough look, I'm not sure if there is not more. Aboutmovies 07:53, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
This isnt copyvio as the words are not all the same - they have not been copied exactbut have been rewritten - the information is the same, but the prose is not. More over, the above is linked several times in the article. LordHarris 12:40, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for nominating this article as one that may meet the Good Article Criteria. As you will see I have put this article on hold at this time.
I note that the article is generally well written and that it should be able to pass GA in the allotted time if the adjustments detailed below are made (or if you disagree then please let me know for each point).
I normally also suggest that as each adjustment is made, that editors place the template {{done}} after each part that is completed as this will provide all editors with a guide of what is completed in this fashion. Done
Perhaps an update is needed on his performance as Chair of the NHS(E) Commissioning Board?
