The Council Secretariat has also not confirmed on whether Thompson and USP Chair of Audit and Risk Committee, Mahmood Khan will attend today’s meeting.

The USP students, staff and alumni have also written to the Council saying that they believe the only solution to this impasse is the replacement of Winston Thompson as the Pro Chancellor by the election of a person who is able to work with the Vice Chancellor without hostility, in the best interest of USP.
