A new council has been appointed to the trouble-plagued University of Sydney college St John’s in the hope of restoring order and “lasting change.”
The group, hand picked by Catholic Archbishop of Sydney, George Pell, and the university’s vice-chancellor Michael Spence, comprises 10 lay fellows and six clerical fellows who will hold office for three years.
Fairfax understands the college rector Michael Bongers is also now anxiously waiting to learn if – or how – he fits into the new college set up.
Among the lay fellows are professors, members of the Sydney archdiocese and retired NSW Supreme Court judge Kenneth Handley who earlier this year deliberated over the fate of 33 suspended students at the college. The council’s former chair, Christine Liddy, has returned despite having resigned several weeks ago.
