A QUEENSLAND woman is still studying medicine on a public scholarship despite her father being forced to quit his job as the university's vice-chancellor amid claims she was given preferential treatment.
The Crime and Misconduct Commission says the daughter of former University of Queensland Vice-Chancellor Paul Greenfield got the scholarship over 343 more suitable applicants even though she failed a qualifying exam.
The scandal forced the resignation of Prof Greenfield and Deputy Vice-Chancellor Professor Michael Keniger in late 2011.
Acting CMC assistant commissioner Kathleen Florian said on Friday that Prof Greenfield's daughter was still studying on the scholarship but there's no evidence she had any role in what occurred.
"The student is still in the course," Ms Florian said after the CMC released its final report on the scandal.
"As a result of our investigation and review, there was no evidence that she was complicit in the induced offer."
The report was scathing of the university, saying it had downplayed the scandal in a bid to protect its reputation.
The university had also failed to explain the real reason the two university chiefs had quit.
"The CMC considered the public statements made by the University of Queensland in November 2011 downplayed the seriousness of the matter and the involvement of two of its most senior executives," the CMC found.
Ms Florian said the public must be able to have faith that decisions on university places are based on merit and equity.
"It is clear from the reviews and investigation undertaken by the CMC the decision to offer a place in the 2011 undergraduate medical program to the daughter of the then vice-chancellor was not based on merit," she said.
"It may be considered that the right balance was not struck between the public interest on the one hand, and protecting the reputation of the university and the reputations of the two most senior officers on the other."
