Candidates' statements
Anthony Dooley
The Academic Board is responsible for ensuring that the academic voice is part of the fabric of the university. In my two terms as Chair, I have represented the Board on Council, introducing the Student Charter, the Academic Risk Register, the Course Loop simplification program and revisions to the PhD program. I have held AB Forums on Climate Change, Internationalisation, the Role of a University, and AI in Teaching and Assessment.
At the State and National level, I chair the NSW Committee of Chairs of Academic Boards and convene the national meeting, have made submissions to the Accord and TEQSA on Academic Governance and to the NSW government on HSC matters.
I continue research and teaching as a professor of mathematics.
In this turbulent time in tertiary education, as UTS reconceptualises its strategic directions, it is imperative to have a strong academic representation in the running of the university.
Lynn Sinclair
I joined UTS Faculty of Health in 2017, building on a career in health leadership, policy, and transformation. Currently, I serve as Associate Dean of Teaching and Learning. As Deputy Chair of the Academic Board since 2021, I am seeking election as Chair. Given the challenges and opportunities we face as an institution, I believe it is time to rethink how the Board and its committees function, strengthen key relationships and bring important issues to the forefront for discussion and action. I am well-acquainted with the Board’s subcommittees, as Deputy Chair of the Courses Accreditation Committee and as a Teaching and Learning Committee member. My involvement extends to professional committees and boards, including my role as past President of the Perinatal Society of Australia and New Zealand. My experience and understanding will enable me to lead the Board confidently through change and make a meaningful contribution to its future direction.
