Australian National University’s governing body was not told of the paid nature of vice chancellor Genevieve Bell’s ongoing job with multinational chipmaker Intel, contradicting statements made by chancellor Julie Bishop.

Bell earned $70,000 for just 24 hours work for Intel in 2024, but in response to questions on notice filed last week to Senate estimates, the university said the ANU council did “not require members to disclose remuneration when calling for disclosures of interest”.
