Barney Glover has another five year term as VC of Western Sydney University.  He joined WSU in January 2014. He set out his agenda for education, as then president of Universities Australia, the following year;

“It is the responsibility of Australia’s universities to ensure that we ask the right questions; map new paths; share the knowledge we have; nurture inquiring minds; and, in-turn build critical thinking. These characteristics are at the heart of our serving the public interest. This is what we do. This is what we have always done. Notwithstanding the recognised private benefit that might accrue to individual students, universities have a public purpose,” (CMM October 7 2015).
