Jobs for mates. It is rotten.

Vice Chancellor is the most senior manager in any university, Roberston has almost zero experience in management. But then most academics don't think experience matters - political beliefs and an arts degree are all you need to manage people apparently - what a crock.
Another failed useless politician is given preference over competence.
