The $5 million house Vice-Chancellor Dawn Freshwater previously rented from the University of Auckland. University staff and students can now look inside the luxury home for themselves after it was listed for sale this week. The university bought the house in December 2019, ahead of the arrival of new vice-chancellor Dawn Freshwater in March on a $755,000 salary. "Criticisms of her in the media are grossly unfair and wrong," he said in an email to university staff. She had not been offered another university-owned rental or rental allowance, a university spokesman said.
