New chancellor David Thodey said the university sector was under unprecedented scrutiny in politics and the media.
New Sydney University chancellor David Thodey says he’s committed to working with vice chancellor Mark Scott, who has faced intense political pressure and calls for his resignation following controversial protests on campus.
“And the Senate and I are fully committed to actively working with our vice chancellor, Mark Scott, to ensure that our university environment is free from any form of discrimination.” In his speech Thodey also took aim at the federal government’s proposed international student caps, which would limit universities’ foreign enrolments next year and subsequently slash revenue by hundreds of millions of dollars.
