THE recent passing of Prof Datuk Dr Khalid Yusoff at the age of 66 leaves a vacuum in the corridors of Malaysian academia. At the time of his passing, he was UCSI University President and Vice-Chancellor.
UCSI Group founder and chief executive officer Datuk Peter Ng, in a statement, said that the university offers its condolences on the great loss in the Malaysian academic field and said that Dr Khalid was not someone who rested on his laurels.
Ng said Dr Khalid played an important role in increasing UCSI University’s ranking and since heading the university in 2013, UCSI had received various academic recognitions, in addition to forging a strategic partnership with world-renowned universities including Harvard University.
