Colin Low (who was already awarded CBE in 2000 for services to RNIB and rights of disabled people) has been totally blind since the age of three. He was educated at Worcester College for the Blind, Oxford and Cambridge Universities. He taught Law and criminology for 16 years at Leeds University before moving to London as Director of the Disability Resource Team, an organization providing advice and services. He has been involved in a number of voluntary bodies – too many to name. Most important of these, immediately in the mind of the Appointment Commission, are his chairmanship of the Royal National Institute for the Blind and the presidency of the European Blind Union.
Earlier Lord Low became a senior research fellow at City University, researching theories of disability. Recognizing his excellent grasp of disability issues, City University later retained him as a Visiting Professor in this field. This elevation must give a just cause to the City University for rejoicing this meritorious appointment.
