I keep seeing toots spreading the #PayWalled link to this article when no other media outlet is covering this important story and making it freely available. I’m angry about that…

Last night I read the Saturday Paper story about Prof. Bell, Julie Bishop and the ANU.
What a complete mess. I am sad to see this institution so badly served (not only by Bell, but by *all* the governing structures - and by many of their members).
It is time for the Government to step in and directly manage, the place, with a view to handing it back to self-governance in five years or so.

Four months after her premature departure as vice-chancellor of the Australian National University, Genevieve Bell was suspended from her ongoing role as a distinguished professor and barred from entering the campus or speaking to staff, students and members of the governing council.
Former VC Genevieve Bell is the #anu scandal that keeps on giving.
Jobs for (clearly unqualified) mates is the latest.

Wow, so it unravels… #ANU
“Four months after her premature departure as vice-chancellor of the Australian National University, Genevieve Bell was suspended from her ongoing role as a distinguished professor and barred from entering the campus or speaking to staff, students and members of the governing council.
On January 13, Bell was presented with a show cause notice alleging “serious misconduct” in the promotion of her close friend and colleague, Andrew Meares. Meares, a former newspaper photographer, was made a full professor in the School of Cybernetics against the advice of the university’s own promotion panel and despite having no university qualifications.
Documents seen by The Saturday Paper show #Bell actively intervened in Meares’s career trajectory on multiple occasions (the rest is paywalled in the Sattuday Paper.)
"Former ANU vice-chancellor Genevieve Bell has been suspended from the university and accused of serious misconduct after allegedly making a close friend a full professor despite him having no university qualifications...
There are allegations Bell requested minutes of meetings be changed, sought to change employment records, breached conflict of interest provisions, undermined the university’s promotions processes, ignored professional guidance, used her seniority to gain advantage for Meares, and overturned the university’s central promotions committee after it rejected his bid to become a full professor."

Renew #ANU was never necessary. #Universities and the public good of education have become a way to funnel money to your mates in consultancy firms👀
