Adelaide University would like to correct an error recently reported in an article in The Weekend Australian.
Former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Adelaide, Professor Peter Høj AC, did not receive a termination benefit or a ‘golden handshake’ from the University of Adelaide at the conclusion of his tenure as Vice-Chancellor.
The $80,000 figure quoted in the article is an unpaid leave entitlement.
Adelaide University apologises for the error.
We also offer our apologies to Professor Høj and the University of Adelaide Council.
