    There are also concerns about the relationship between the consultancy firm hired to oversee the restructure, KordaMentha, and the interim UOW boss.

    KordaMentha was contracted to review UOW operations and people and culture in May.

    In June the university appointed KordaMentha partner John Dewar as interim VC on a 12-month contract.

    “We have essentially got a temporary fly-in, fly-out vice chancellor who is a partner in the firm that the university he runs has contracted to review the operations of the university,” said Dr Cahill.

    Quite sus. Also, John Dewar is this guy if you want a laugh.

    Cutting admin instead of profs when?

    Oh right, never. Every school needs a 100+ admin team, 15 teachers will suffice. They even buy their own materials, so no costs there.
