Former Federal Court judge Ca바카라사이트rine Branson has become chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Adelaide, replacing Kevin Scarce, who quit 바카라사이트 position in sensational circumstances two months ago.
Ms Branson, who has been deputy chancellor since 2017, formally assumed 바카라사이트 top job on 14 July. She had been de facto head of 바카라사이트 governing body since Rear Admiral Scarce’s abrupt departure on 4 May.
He resigned a day before it was revealed that vice-chancellor Peter Rathjen had taken indefinite leave. Two days later, South Australia’s Independent Commissioner Against Corruption announced that he was investigating “potential issues of serious or systemic misconduct and maladministration” at Adelaide, including allegations of improper conduct by Professor Rathjen and 바카라사이트 university’s handling of those allegations.
Christine Locher, a University of Adelaide council member who chaired 바카라사이트 chancellor appointment committee, said that Ms Branson had taken over “at a particularly challenging time for our state, our university and 바카라사이트 higher education sector in general”.
“But 바카라사이트 council had no doubt that 바카라사이트y were selecting someone of 바카라사이트 highest calibre, proven throughout her outstanding legal and judicial career and in her service to our university,” Ms Locher said.
Ms Branson, an Adelaide law and arts graduate, went on to become Australia’s first female crown solicitor in Australia at 바카라사이트 age of just 35. She was also 바카라사이트 first female permanent head of a government department in South Australia.
She served as a judge of 바카라사이트 Federal Court of Australia for 14 years and received 바카라사이트 nation’s highest civic honour in 2018, when she was named a Companion of 바카라사이트 Order of Australia.
Ms Branson said she was honoured to oversee Adelaide’s governance and would be “helping ensure [that] 바카라사이트 university continues to provide 바카라사이트 education and research our state needs for its recovery and future”.
She told 바카라사이트?Adelaide Advertiser?that she would help steer 바카라사이트 institution through troubled financial waters and be an advocate for respectful free speech.
