ANU must fix governance to keep its TEQSA registration
The higher education regulator imposed conditions on ANU to ensure it meets governance standards.
The Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) imposed registration conditions on ANU. TEQSA found serious governance failures linked to the failed Renew ANU cost-cutting program.
ANU Council was dysfunctional. Council hindered discussion and lacked trust among members.
Council failed to properly oversee the Vice-Chancellor. Council members weren't aware of conflicts of interest involving former Vice-Chancellor Professor Genevieve Bell and Intel Corporation.
Bell's performance review was based on her own assessment, not an independent one. TEQSA was concerned that ANU called these failures "lapses" rather than breaches.
This suggests the university wouldn't fix the problems without intervention. The regulator found ANU hadn't identified or fixed these issues for a long time.
