FORMER UNIVERSITY CHANCELLOR FOUND CORRUPT
Former university chancellor John Cassidy has been found corrupt by the ICAC for misusing confidential information in the sale of a hotel in northern New South Wales.
The corruption commission has found that while he was still chancellor, Mr Cassidy told his business partner to invest in a pub being sold off by the University of New England in Armidale.
The Tattersalls Hotel was sold to his friend Darrell Hendry by the UNE student union in January 2006.
The ICAC ruled Mr Cassidy used confidential information acquired as chancellor to end up with a stake in the pub.
