The ICAC Inquiry Unravels University Cronyism in Australia The recent revelations from the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) inquiry into the University of Wollongong have raised serious concerns about the prevalence of corruption within institutions of higher learning.
Alyssa White, former chief governance officer, has provided a disturbing account of how university politics can lead to cronyism and favoritism in recruitment.
White's admission that she gave interview questions to a staffer to pass on to a preferred candidate is a stark example of how the recruitment process can be subverted.
