Statement from the ANU Council
The ANU Council, the governing board for the University, met this morning, Friday 28 March for the second scheduled meeting of 2025. The ANU Council reaffirmed its full support for the Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor. The Council notes that the changes the University must undertake to achieve financial sustainability are, and will continue to be, challenging. The Council acknowledges this is a difficult period for the entire ANU community.
The Council continues to believe that the requirement for financial sustainability remains unchanged, and Council commends the Vice-Chancellor and her leadership team for their work to progress this agenda.
The ANU Council maintains full confidence in the leadership. Council and the University leadership will continue to listen, consult and respond to ongoing requests for information as appropriate and thank ANU staff and students for their engagement.
The Council takes seriously its obligations as set out in the Australian National University Act 1991, and will continue to work to appropriately discharge them. The Council asks that the ANU community now come together and partner with the University leadership to implement the necessary changes which will enable ANU to continue to deliver on our distinct national mission to create and transmit knowledge for our nation, our region and the world.
