Hi and goodbye: Murdoch U abolishes executive positions

The Dean Engagement roles are abolished

Noordin Shehabuddeen is removed at the College of Arts, Business, Law and Social Science.  Vicky Vass goes at the College of Science, Health, Engineering and Education.

The imperative to choose between multiple competing priorities, led to the decision that executive level leadership from the Deans Engagement is not critical to our operations for the foreseeable future,” School PVCs Catherine Itsiopoulos (SHEEE) and Grant O’Neill (ABLSS) say.

Tracy Taylor, recently appointed from UTS also has her position of dean of business abolished.

“The decision to discontinue these senior executive roles is related to business sustainability and in no way reflects performance in these roles,” the PVCs say.

The engagement dean positions were created a year back.
