Massey University has announced a new chancellor after Chris Kelly stood down following his comments that a female veterinary graduate was worth only "two-fifths"of a full-time veterinarian.
The remarks, published in a rural magazine last week, were criticised as sexist, outdated and insulting.
Michael Ahie was today announced as his replacement following a vote by the Massey University Council yesterday.
Ahie, of Nga Ruahine and Ngati Ruanui descent, was raised in Opunake and lives in Wellington.
