ANU’s New Chancellor and Recovery Plan | Australia News

from Australia News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

ANU’s new chancellor, Gordon de Brouwer — a former Treasury and Reserve Bank heavyweight with a PhD from the university itself — is stepping in to rebuild trust and steer ANU through financial turmoil and leadership voids. Backed by Finance Minister Katy Gallagher, he’s joined by interim vice-chancellor Rebekah Brown, whose “ANU by 2030” plan aims to restore governance, embrace AI for efficiency, and deepen ties with Canberra. With the nation’s only federally funded university facing staff cuts and budget deficits, the pair’s mission is clear: turn around ANU’s reputation and secure its future as a global research powerhouse.
