Professor Rajesh Chandra moves on
The University of the South Pacific advises that Professor Rajesh Chandra has resigned from his position as Deputy
Vice-Chancellor at USP effective 18 March, 2005. Professor Chandra departs for a period of leave before assuming his
position as Vice-Chancellor with the newly established university in Fiji.
This outcome will avoid the obvious conflict of interest that will arise as a result of him heading the university while
remaining an employee of USP.
The Chancellor, Dr Langi Kavaliku, expressed his good wishes and thanks to Professor Chandra for his long and committed
service at USP. Professor Anthony Tarr, Vice-Chancellor at USP, joined the Chancellor in passing on best wishes for the
future.
Dr Esther Williams will assume the position of Acting Deputy Vice-Chancellor.
