A staff-elected member of Australian National University’s governing body has resigned, citing concerns about the council’s direction, its failure to listen to staff during a divisive restructure and a lack of accountability after months of turmoil.
Dr Liz Allen, one of three staff members elected to the council, resigned on Monday morning, saying in a letter to fellow members and the ANU executive that she could not “in good conscience remain on the council” after a recent vote of no confidence from staff.
