There's a little bun fight between the new and former vice-chancellors of Macquarie University (myself, my brother and sister have attended).

It's made it into the Sydney Morning Herald with the attention-grabbing headline of Boxes, buttocks and a very bitter battle.

THE vice-chancellor of Macquarie University has seized control of 125 boxes of documents and more than 1000 artworks in a bitter dispute with the woman he replaced, Di Yerbury.

They also can't find a signed contract of employment under which Di Yerbury was employed. One of the paintings that has been seized is of her bare bum aged 34.

We're highly amused. I think it may've been front page, it was the top story in the national section on the SMH website.

And the little socialist that I am, I don't understand how anyone is worth that much money.

he report also found: "A general failure to keep and maintain proper records ... In most of the areas which were reviewed we found that key records have not been maintained as required by legislation, the university's code of conduct or records policy."

...dude, my records managemetn class just discussed the consequences of improper recordkeeping last night. Timing for the win!
