Lindsay Falvey

John Lindsay Falvey

In 1995, he was invited by the University of Melbourne to the role of Dean of a combined faculty over eight campuses with the task of merging the six colleges of the Victorian College of Agriculture and Horticulture with the university's departments related to agriculture and forestry. This ' merger' was more of a takeover, and only the Burnley and Dookie campus remain with the university in 2021, with the other campuses being moved to the TAFE sector fairly rapidly after the merger. The merger period was a brutal period for former VCAH staff, with many long-serving staff having their employment terminated because they did not fit the university teaching-research ideal. Many staff felt as if they had been sold-out by VCAH management.

After completing the merger, he stepped down as Dean while retaining the Chair of Agriculture. Falvey was awarded a doctorate of agricultural science by the University of Melbourne in 2004 for a 1,500-page combined selection from his books and papers which revealed a new evolving philosophy of international agricultural development over some thirty years.^{[citation needed]}

He is a Foundation Director of Hassad Australia,^[6] Board Chair of the International Livestock Research Institute, Chair of the Selection Panel for the World Prize in International Integrated Development, and assists Thaksin University in Songkhla Thailand.^[7]
