The Independent Commission Against Corruption public inquiry has investigated allegations concerning the University of Wollongong’s chief governance officer and secretary, Alyssa White, Chancellor Michael Still and other University of Wollongong staff and contractors.

From the opening day when Counsel Assisting ICAC Emma Bathurst’s ever-so gently dropped the first bombshell - that UOW governance officer Alyssa White resigned two days earlier - to Ms White’s emotional admissions on the final day, we’ve been reporting.

• ICAC has made no findings in Operation Scandi. All individuals named are the subject of allegations being examined at a public inquiry.
