Heather Cavanagh will finish up as DVC Research and Engagement on February 26 after 23 years at Charles Sturt U

Word around CSU is that Professor Cavanagh is, resigning not retiring.

Acting VC John Germov thanks for her service and achievements in many portfolios. She certainly knew CSU – she set out the seven challenges the university faces to a Senate committee inquiry last year (CMM July 30).

With her gone in a fortnight, Professor Germov told staff, he will advise on interim leadership arrangements for Research and Engagement, “in the coming weeks.”

But when, CMM wonders, will there be advice on the VC position – which was advertised in June last year (CMM June 16).
