CMM wondered why Uni Sydney Mark Scott was accompanied to the Times Higher Education conference in New York by senior staff, notably VP External Relations Kirsten Andrews  and MComms chief Johanna Lowe

It’s not as if the suave Professor Scott would need help with his talk on university “public service provisions.”

Turns out, they may have been there for the announcement yesterday that Uni Sydney will host THE ’23 which appears to be considered an olympian achievement, “and the winner is … Sydney Uni” Ms Andrews tweeted.
