The chancellor of Massey has announced a review into the process surrounding the recent cancellation of Don Brash's appearance at a student politics club.

Massey University Chancellor Michael Ahie said the Council of Massey University was undertaking an independent review into the process surrounding the cancellation of the former National Leader's appearance on Massey University's Manawatū campus.

"The Council has already expressed its support and confidence in the Vice Chancellor and it is now seeking a review of the processes involved in the issue so that it can fully understand the lessons learned and have clarity over future events," Ahie said.

The review will be undertaken by Douglas Martin, a former Deputy State Services Commissioner.

Martin was scheduled to report his findings and make recommendations to the University Council by the end of November.

Martin's terms of reference for the review will focus on the performance of the University in arriving at and managing the consequences of the decision.

"As such, it will encompass all aspects of organisational performance and a summary of the findings will be released in the public interest," Ahie said.
