La Trobe University has moved to lock-in vice chancellor Paul Johnson until the end of 2014 to ensure he is at the helm to fully implement a change program based on his strategic plan.
Professor Johnson, an economic historian from the London School of Economics, was appointed in April 2007 under a five year contract but has now signed up to extend that by more than two and a half years.
"The University decided to secure the services of its successful chief executive to ensure implementation of a significant change program based on the Strategic Plan he developed," chancellor Sylvia Walton said.
Professor Johnson has moved to improve La Trobe's tight finances with an administrative shake up that included a voluntary redundancy program.
The university is also in the process of completing several academic and research reviews that include changes to the curriculum.
