I just noticed that there is to be a new Chancellor for the University of Sydney.
I'm not really sure of Bashir's ideology so wouldn't want to commen there.
I do wonder if this is covert 'affirmative action' as she is after all, the University's first female Chancellor (and first female Govenor of NSW). I also wonder if there is actually a female quivalent of the word Chancellor. Before our PC times she would have been termed 'Governess' for her role at government house. Then again, in pre-PC times she probably would have been overlooked because she is a woman.
MEANWHILE and probably more meaningfully, check out www.coo-eesfromthecloister.blogspot.com for the news on Australia's new Bishops.
I know one of them is absolutely brilliant- don't know the other and don't particularly like his tie .

I do hate political correctness directed especially towards females. I pointed refused to call the ACSA State Reps Chairperson, male or female they were Chairmen to me.
Actually, Bashir will not be the University's first female Chancellor: Dame Leonie Kramer was before her (1999-2001).
thanks hound- I didn't know that.
I think Dame Leonie lasted longer than 3 years too. She reigned from 1991 - 2001.
I think Bashir's appointment is quite a good thing. She is Orthodox, I believe.
