The university tells staff that the DVC (Students) role is “disestablished” and incumbent, Jenny Roberts, “will depart the university immediately”

She follows former DVC Research and Engagement, Heather Cavanagh, who left in February, after 23 years at CSU (CMM February 11).

This isn’t a late addition to the restructure (CMM March 25), now pretty-much fully planned and apart from Ms Roberts, the university advises, “there will be no reductions to staffing and no reductions to student services as a result of this change.”

Academically-aligned functions in the now ended portfolio move to the DVC Academic (and acting provost), Janelle Wheat. Administrative, marketing and safety functions go to Chief Operating Officer, Rick Willmott’s substantial portfolio (CMM August 26 2020).
