Uni of Sydney is not rushing an announcement of the next VC

Incumbent Michael Spence announced in February that he was leaving at year end and last month management said there would be an update on the recruiting process this year (CMM October 23).

That Senior DVC Stephen Garton will serve until the next VC arrives has long been known. What isn’t is when that will be. Dr Spence was discrete about it in his farewell address last week, saying “I am so pleased that he will be looking after the university in 2021.”

“A roaring lion of a place,” scroll down for Dr Spence for his take on where Uni Sydney is and the three big questions for higher education.
