“Dr McNeill was appointed CEO in June 2025, but while applying for the role, did not tell the CIT board she was under investigation by TAFE NSW for "serious misconduct".

The controversy sparked the public inquiry, which led to an assembly committee making seven recommendations and 11 findings, including that Dr McNeill should have disclosed the information about the misconduct investigation to the CIT board in a timely manner.

Dr McNeill told the committee that she had sought to disclose the investigation to CIT during the recruitment process but had been advised on multiple occasions, both verbally and in writing, by TAFE NSW that she was not permitted to do so. “

“Education is not the amount of information that is pushed into the brain and causes havoc there, undigested all through a lifetime. Education must be a symposium of life-building, character- making and assimilation of ideas in the pursuit of building a more harmonious, peaceful and truly civilized world.”

Wikipedia Is a Valid Source, And It’s Time We Stop Pretending It’s Not

This is going to be a hot take. A big one. The kind that makes academic purists clutch their pearls and scream about “proper sourcing” and “peer review” like it’s the end of the world. But fuck it. It needs to be said. Wikipedia is a valid source. Not “kind of valid.” Not “okay for starting research.” Not “don’t cite it but you can look at it.” No. A valid source. Full stop. And the refusal to acknowledge that? It reeks of elitist academia bullshit. Let’s be […]
