Not the actual requirements mind, council has already signed-off on them – just which ones matter most

Chancellor Catherine Branson says staff and student responses are wanted, “to help determine – with your input- what our university community values most.”

The 12 criteria are now ranked from “Uni Adelaide asks staff what they value in a new VC” first, through to “accessible, visible and approachable, with a commitment to the principles of collegiality.”

Responses are due Thursday with the position advertised in October.

At the University of Sydney, the association of professors has gone further to help its senate select the new VC, setting up its own search committee, (CMM September 21).
