Policy Statement
Having filled multiple ANU leadership roles at School and College level, I am keenly aware of the importance of good university governance and the important role Academic Board plays in those processes. With ANU under increasing external scrutiny, Academic Board has a critical role to play in maintaining academic integrity across ANU. I will actively seek out School and College views to ensure a Law School/CLGP voice is heard at Academic Board.
