Professor Kerstin Mey:

That is an important question. I was referring to my own experience as the president for more than two and a half years and attempts to undermine my integrity personally and professionally through rumours that have been spread. I find that very disappointing. I hold myself to the highest standards of professional integrity. As an institution, we need to concentrate on the future. We have a great deal of work to do and we must focus on carrying out that work with accountability, transparency and prudence.
