UWA Vice-Chancellor to retire
The University of Western Australia’s Vice-Chancellor Professor Alan Robson has announced his retirement from the position at the end of 2011.
Professor Robson said he had confirmed his intention to retire as vice-chancellor at the end of his current contract to allow the university ample time to recruit a successor.
“I believe that the end of 2011 is an appropriate time for new leadership for the university,” Professor Robson said.
UWA Chancellor Dr Michael Chaney said that despite having been encouraged by the university’s governing body, Senate, to extend his term, Professor Robson had chosen to retire.
“Alan Robson has led the university with distinction in roles as deputy vice-chancellor and vice-chancellor for more than 17 years,” Dr Chaney said.
The process of selecting a new vice-chancellor would begin immediately and should be completed during the first half of next year.
