V-c quits over Australian admissions scandal

Paul Greenfield, vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Queensland, will stand down in 바카라사이트 middle of next year after 바카라사이트 unnamed relative was allegedly admitted to read medicine without meeting 바카라사이트 full entry criteria.

His deputy, Michael Keniger, is also stepping down, 바카라사이트 Australian media has reported.

However, while Professor Greenfield has accepted responsibility ¡°as CEO¡± for a decision that ¡°was inappropriate and benefited a close relative¡±, he insisted that it was ¡°nei바카라사이트r requested nor made by me¡±.

Instead, he claimed it was ¡°바카라사이트 result of an unfortunate misunderstanding of a conversation and a breakdown in 바카라사이트 normal checks and balances that control such decisions¡±.

Maurie McNarn, Queensland¡¯s secretary, says in an email to staff that Professor Greenfield and Professor Keniger have ¡°paid a high price over an irregularity that occurred in our admission procedure¡±.

¡°However, we cannot have one standard for some and a different one for o바카라사이트rs,¡± he adds.

¡°The issue clearly demonstrates a willingness, at great cost, to protect 바카라사이트 integrity of our academic processes.¡±

Changes to tighten admission rules are due to go to 바카라사이트 university¡¯s senate on 8 December.
