SYDNEY CHAIR
Prof. Simkin To Go
(N.Z. Press Association)
AUCKLAND, March 17.
Professor C. G. F. Simkin, the head of the department of economics at Auckland University since 1946, will leave in September to take up a chair in economics at Sydney University. The new post would give him more opportunities for research, he said.
Professor Simkin said tonight he was dissatisfied with the state of academic economics in New Zealand and could not see it improving. Recruiting and retaining staff was difficult, he said, largely because New Zealand salaries were not up to international standard.
Although he will be going to a higher salary in Australia, Professor Simkin said if it were not for the difficulties in maintaining his department he would prefer to remain in New Zealand.
