OMG!!

All went sideways the day education became a business.

The only consolation is that he's unemployed and unemployable. It'd be naive to think other university executives aren't rorting the system to the same extent while bemoaning the need to cut costs.

Shameful

This is how the high and self appointed mighty lavish them selves at the expense of others.

Those university boards only priority is to how to lavish themselves with taxpayers money

Academic snob gravy train

“The documents show his international travel was approved by former chancellor Kevin Scarce. ” Parasites.

Wow what a trustworthy hooked nose

How did he keep getting employed by more universities with his previous allegations? 🤦🏽‍♀️

TAKTIX4 Uni’s need an overhaul of monetary expenditure! So corrupt.

Ex-WHO, good move. All sane people know most of the 'orders' do nothing to stop the this virus spreading, or any other.
