Late Monday VC Iain Martin told staff she was gone “effective today”

Professor Lemm was Executive Dead of Arts and Education. She joined Deakin U from Flinders U in January last year.

Professor Martin’s brief statement “acknowledges” her contribution and wishes her well, but is otherwise silent on her time at Deakin.

Professor Lemm was in India earlier this month meeting universities. “Looking forward to seeing Deakin in action in India and making new connections for Deakin ArtsEd,” she tweeted August 5.

AsPro Meghan Kelly “will continue” to act as ED, “while we explore a longer-term solution,” Professor Martin stated.
