Uni Queensland staff asked what they want in their new VC

The process to replace Peter Hoj has started

Yesterday Chancellor Peter Varghese invited all staff to have their say. “Exceptional academic and professional leadership are core attributes, but a role leading a complex organisation requires a combination of skills, experience and capabilities tailored to a university’s distinctive needs,” the chancellor says.

Staff are asked to address three issues: * challenges and opportunities for Uni Queensland in the next decade, *leadership qualities for Uni Queensland to continue “a global top 50 university” and * career experience to lead UQ through a time of considerable disruption,”

There’s an anonymous feedback page and Mr Varghese says responses, “will be considered when the committee drafts the selection criteria for the recruitment process.”

Professor Hoj leaves June 30 next year.
