The Uni Adelaide VC faces allegations of “improper conduct”

Independent Commissioner Against Corruption, Bruce Lander said yesterday that he, “has commenced an investigation in respect of allegations of improper conduct by the Vice Chancellor of the University of Adelaide.”

“My investigation is in respect of potential issues of serious or systemic misconduct and maladministration, not corruption,” the emphasis is Mr Lander’s.

The Commissioner adds he is, “also investigating the manner in which the University dealt with those allegations.”

Mr Lander said ICAC investigations are conducted in private, but he was making a statement, “in light of the intense speculation regarding the University of Adelaide, and the likelihood that that speculation will continue and potentially lead to an unnecessary negative impact on the University’s operations.”
