The decision was made during the 86th Council meeting of the University in Nauru last month.
Professor Ahluwalia will formally take up his new role as VC&P in November 2018.
This will allow for a smooth transition and handover process from USP’s current Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Rajesh Chandra, whose term comes to an end in December 2018.
Professor Chandra served as USP’s Vice-Chancellor and President for a maximum term of ten years.
