Independent senator David Pocock says leadership at Australian National University is “trashing an amazing institution” and has called for urgent action, including possible changes to the make-up of the university council.
In a charged town hall address at the ANU campus on Tuesday evening, attended by at least six current and former members of the council, Pocock said he had lost confidence in vice chancellor Genevieve Bell’s ability to steer the university following numerous scandals and errors.
