## Resource

ICAC launches a three-week public inquiry into the University of Wollongong, investigating corruption allegations against senior leaders including Chancellor Michael Still and Chief Governance Officer Alyssa White. The probe examines whether recruitment was rigged to favor White’s associates, improper contracts awarded to Aspirall Consulting since 2024, and conflicts of interest involving interim vice-chancellor John Dewar, who was still tied to KordaMentha when hired. A whistleblower, Lisa Simmons, has been protected for raising alarms about systemic corruption and accountability failures — findings that align with a parliamentary report criticizing consultant-driven restructuring. Public hearings will scrutinize transparency, ethics, and governance, with potential to reshape university operations. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
