Australian Greens Education spokesperson Senator Mehreen Faruqi has welcomed news that Mark Vaile will not be made Chancellor of the University of Newcastle.
\nSenator Faruqi said:
\n\u201cThis is a huge win for the university staff and students who fought this terrible appointment, and for the Hunter community.
\n\u201cCoal bosses have no place in university leadership. The university community spoke out, organised, and knocked this appointment on its head.
\n\u201cThe next chancellor should be appointed in consultation with the university community and reflect their demands for a university that leads on the big problems we face.
\n\u201cWe are in the middle of a climate emergency and communities are demanding leadership that will tackle this crisis with the urgency it demands.
\n\u201cWe need to build and nurture universities that are democratic, equitable and sustainable. There is no time to delay,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
