The University of the South Pacific Pro-Chancellor Winston Thompson says any decision to remove him as the Council Chair remains with the Council itself not the USP staff.
Thompson made this clear when questioned by FijiVillage on the petition that was given to the Council and Secretariat office yesterday afternoon.
This is after more than 60 staff handed over their petition against former USP Vice Chancellor and President Rajesh Chandra.
They are also asking that USP Pro‑Chancellor Winston Thompson recuse himself from the Council Chair immediately.
They say this is in light of his public defence of those implicated in the allegations which is premature and unprofessional that compromises his position as a chair.
The letter also stated that Thompson's public statements are unprofessional, prejudicial and damaging to the University.
