Professor calls for inquiry into UCC affairs

A SENIOR academic at University College Cork yesterday called for an official inquiry into how the campus is being run.

Professor Desmond Clarke — who is also a member of the governing body — alleged the governing authority “has failed to manage the university properly” during Prof Gerry Wrixon’s presidency.

A spokesperson for UCC rejected Prof Clarke’s claims as being without substance and challenged him to back any such allegations “with full details”.
