Massey University Chancellor Chris Kelly has resigned following controversy over his comments made to Rural News concerning the Massey University Veterinary programme.
Kelly advised the University that he intends to step down from his position, effective immediately.
Kelly said his decision follows media coverage of his comments concerning the Massey University Veterinary programme that he has subsequently apologised for.
