A chancellor at a top Australian university has stood aside amid an anti-corruption probe into accusations of improperly awarded contracts and conflicts of interest.
University of Wollongong Chancellor Michael Still revealed on Friday he would step away pending the conclusion of a inquiry by NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption.
"The University of Wollongong Council respects Mr Still's decision, which he has made with the best interests of the university's staff, students and broader community in mind," a spokesperson wrote in a statement.
