  1. More reporting on one of my fave topics, #ANU #GOvernance and the #Bell saga.

    “It’s fair to say the best and brightest at ANU were not involved at any point in this farce. Pity the academics, staff and students who have suffered the ignominy of being associated with an institution that one person told me was being run “like a start-up, rather than like a public entity governed by federal law”.

  5. Well, this looks promissing.

    We now know that the 20% cut to HELP debt has been passed by Parliament.

    I thought that the Universities Accord Report was consigned to a dusty shelf since #JasonClairMP wasn't telling us what he proposed to do about it. But behold! Katy is froeshadowing big chances in the pipeline...

    "We said it would be the very first thing that we'd do once Parliament returned. And now we've delivered on that promise.

    This is just the beginning. Through the Universities Accord, we're building something bigger - a tertiary system where your chances don't depend on your postcode, your parents or where you come from." (Katy Gallagher MP)

    It better be a short pipeline though, we can't wait around too long to fix the mess our #TertiarySector is in. I can't help but feel optimistic about this.

    It’s nothing short of criminal to have upended the traditional governing models of Universities in a quest to subsume every enterprise to the buffoonery of corporatism and debunked neoliberal economic fantasy.

    Tertiary sector bean counters ought to have remained adjunct to academic leadership as facilitators of educational excellence.

    Household budget imperatives have no place in the education system nor in govt charged with nurturing all of their charges. Anything deviating from this responsibility is a failure of their ‘duty of care’.

    Put. Bureaucrats in charge of universities and it is bound to come to this.
