'There are some sociopaths in the world': Sitting down with ANU's new chancellor, Gordon de Brouwer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you like this article, share it with your friends. It’s day two on the job, and ANU’s new chancellor Gordon de Brouwer has set up shop in a meeting room of the freshly rebuilt University House after it was smashed during a massive hailstorm in 2020. In an almost biblical string of events, the university was also hammered by fires and floods, as well as pestilence when COVID hit. But perhaps its most existential threat over its 80-year history has been the systematic unravelling of governance
ANU went rogue once. Could it happen again? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you like this article, share it with your friends. Jason Clare was never keen to get involved in the brouhaha at Australian National University, just down the road from Parliament House. As the multitude of dramas unfolded from late 2024, Clare, the federal education minister responsible for ANU, didn’t want to engage. I approached his office for comment on several occasions.

A former commissioner of the Australian Public Service, de Brouwer is no show pony.
The fall of Michael Still and the 'incestuous' crisis plaguing Australia's universities (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you like this article, share it with your friends. Nobody, especially the good citizens of the Illawarra, had ever heard much of Michael Still when he was appointed as chancellor of the University of Wollongong in December 2023. With a background in finance and property, he had few qualifications and little experience befitting such an eminent role. “He is incredibly naive, incredibly patronising and condescending,” I was told by one academic who met with Still numerous times before finding h
Leaders at Australian universities have lost their moral compass (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you like this article, share it with your friends. Over the past few years, it has become clear that many senior executives and heads of governance throughout Australia’s university sector suffer from moral blindness. Take the cast of self-serving characters from the University of Wollongong (UoW) who appeared before the NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption in recent weeks. John Dewar has accepted that when he took on the gig of interim vice-chancellor at UoW, which paid $1 million a
