Julie Bishop has vowed to stay on as chancellor of the Australian National University after the vice-chancellor tendered her resignation, ending a tumultuous two years at the institution marked by redundancies, proposed course closures and allegations of a toxic work culture.

Bishop confirmed on Thursday morning that Prof Genevieve Bell had resigned from ANU, with provost Rebekah Brown to be interim vice-chancellor until a replacement is found.
