Professor Desmond Fitzgerald:

It is not for me to pre-empt the steps the institution will take. It is important that I stand back from making any judgement about this unless and until we go through a process in which we look at the conduct of individuals. As the Comptroller and Auditor General said at the outset of his report, he was not making a judgment about any individuals. It is up to the university to do that. At this moment I have to be cautious about what I say.
