You won't be missed. Don't come back and take the rest of the appointed council with you.

Long overdue.

The council said it had agreed pro-chancellor Larry Marshall would act as chancellor until a permanent appointment was made.

I assume that means a supporter of Julie Bishop? Alright then: do it again, ANU. Power to people.

Larry is indeed on the naughty list in the widespread staff sentiment.

I hope the external committee to appoint a new chancellor acts quickly and whoever they choose works to implement the needed governance reform as their top priority.

If that occurs, I don't expect any of the remaining appointed council to remain very long.

It will take someone big to fill ANU’s vacancy.

I saw a comment on this somewhere:

"Good to know anus opening up to a fresh approach"
