As many colleagues know, I was made an offer to take on the role of
Professor and Head of Outdoor Education and Nature Tourism at La Trobe
University in Australia. Unfortunately, I have made the decision NOT to
accept the position, due to an inability to reach agreement on some minor
contract terms related to intellectual property that would have affected
aspects of my consulting work.
I want those in the field to know that my choice not to accept La Trobe's
offer was NOT due in any way to the quality of the 17 staff members at
Bendigo. I want to reiterate that they are the finest academic collection
of outdoor educators that I know, are thinking and working differently from
most teriary institutions in the world, and I will sadly miss the
opportunity to have been a part of their generous community. I wish them
well in their continued search for the Foundation Chair (which they hope to
readvertised soon), and I would encourage those of you who are qualified to
apply, once the ad is released.
REGARDS! Simon Priest, PhD
