Good for Gerd!

Murdoch U has promoted mathematician Gerd Schröder -Turk to full professor

What, you ask, the Gerd Schröder-Turk Murdoch U management wanted off the university council after he publicly criticised its international student admissions, on ABC TV in May 2019? The G S-T who Murdoch U then sued for loss of reputation and income? That’s the one.

There was ample local and international outrage when that happened, which may have been one reason why the university had dropped both matters by June 2020, saying Aspro Schröder -Turk “remains a valued member of both the Murdoch University academy and of the Murdoch University Senate,” (CMM June 15 2020).

Understandably so, during the dispute he won an Australian Research Council Discovery Grant.

And now he is a full professor.
