Call to ban big uni donors becoming chancellors
University of Melbourne chancellor Jane Hansen and her husband Paul Little donated $40 million to the institution in the years before being named as its most senior officer, raising questions over the probity of such important appointments.
Ms Hansen’s predecessor, Allan Myers, had also donated $10 million before he was appointed chancellor in 2017.
The article has been updated to include a later comment from Swinburne, confirming the vice chancellor was not paid by VCCI.
