University of Wollongong (UOW) chancellor Michael Still resigns from the role effective immediately, with multiple outlets reporting the decision comes days before he is due to appear before New South Wales’ corruption watchdog, ICAC. The ABC reports that Still fronts ICAC shortly after handing in his resignation, while The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald also state the resignation is immediate.
In coverage that links the timing of the resignation to ongoing inquiries, the ABC says ICAC continues investigating allegations involving improper governance, recruitment decisions, and consultancy engagements at the university. The reports present the resignation as separate from the investigation, with Still’s appearance at ICAC scheduled to proceed after he steps down as chancellor.
No source in the provided material specifies the reasons for the resignation beyond noting its timing, but all accounts align on the central facts: Still resigns as UOW chancellor effective immediately and is set to appear before ICAC as the inquiry remains active.
