The long-awaited academic restructure is set to start

Kent Anderson’s successor (above) Liz Burd is not mucking around – briefing staff on the proposed academic restructure the day she was announced as interim DVC academic. The proposal is up for consultation until mid-September. “Liz has been closely involved throughout the entire development period of the change program. I am confident that she will carry this change process through with transparency, integrity and the utmost care for the people and the functions,” VC Alex Zelinsky told staff.

The move towards a new structure follows a period of peace after a long enterprise agreement negotiation last year and a restructure of the university’s BA, unpopular with some staff, in 2017.
