Rob Pike wins the game-to-have-a go-award as he moves to provost for university transformation

His move from Provost, Science, Health, Engineering,  follows VC John Dewar announcing work will re-start on a new structure, put on hold when COVID-19 kicked in (CMM May 13). It’s for four months – which should be busy ones.

It’s just six years since an academic reorganisation and administrative restructure at La Trobe U (CMM June 24 2014) was bitterly opposed by the campus branch of the National Tertiary Education Union, which argued it was not necessary (CMM July 28 2014). Perhaps the obvious impact of the pandemic will make things easier for Professor Pike.
