Newly re-appointed USP Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Pal Ahluwalia says he looks forward to instilling stability and ensuring that USP adheres to principles of good governance.

Professor Ahluwalia resumed office yesterday for an initial 3-year term.

Professor Ahluwalia was re-elected to this position by the USP Council who agreed to offer him a new contract following its meeting on 2 June this year.

He says it has been a challenging time but he is proud to have a team that has been vigorous in managing the university and ensuring that students and staff interests remain paramount.

Professor Ahluwalia says having been based in Nauru for the past six months, he had first-hand experience of regional campuses and is better positioned than ever to elevate the standards of regional campuses.

Professor Ahluwalia and his wife, Sandy Price have been in Nauru awaiting confirmation of his employment contract.

He has thanked the Nauru Government and President of Nauru Lionel Aingimea.
