  3. *Inside cybernetics, ANU-style*

    If this is any indication of how the ANU is run in terms of courses offered, then questions need to be asked and some full and transparant answers are required. What is it about #Universtities these days, it’s just one clusterfuck ofter another at the moment…

    “The School of Cybernetics is an anomaly in the higher education landscape. The course fees are advertised at $39,925, although it’s unclear how many students, past or present, have paid the full amount. It is rumoured that almost every student has been granted a generous scholarship, although an ANU spokesperson declined to provide numbers.

    Highly confidential documents seen by this masthead indicate that very few of the 28.2 equivalent full-time students in 2023 paid the sticker price. That year, total revenue from fees, philanthropy, and research income was just $258,000 for the entire school – or $9,000 a student.

    Expenses attributed to the School of Cybernetics, however, were $7 million. The documents equate that to $237,000 a student, leaving the university with $228,000 per student to be found from elsewhere to cover the cost of teaching its tiny, privileged cohort.

    The ANU spokeswoman declined to answer how many cybernetics students had been awarded scholarships, the value of those scholarships, or where the money to fund them came from, other than that scholarships were generally funded by “industry and general revenue”.

    Sack all councils and review how appointments are made.

Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill’ is bringing a big set of student loan changes nbcnews.com/news/education/tru “I would have hoped that I would be making a decent living on the education that I paid such a dear price for,” Correa, now 57, said. “But I was sold a dream.

  9. New report by research institute BC Policy Solutions calls for greater funding for higher education in British Columbia. It highlights the cuts to staffing and programs that have happened recently and warns that treating education as a commodity funded by student debt deepens inequalities:

    "The post-secondary sector performs particularly poorly for low-income, racialized, Indigenous and first-generation students."

  16. Before now, ALL #GraduateStudents could borrow up to the full cost of attendance, which conservative lawmakers blamed for high program costs & high #StudentDebt.

    In the fall, the #Education Dept & a committee of #HigherEducation “experts” negotiated the details of the #loan caps, but the terms sparked a backlash over the exclusion of some professions from the higher loan limits, including nursing, physical therapy & social work.

  19. Remember when President Biden forgave a bunch of student debt?

    Then some Republicans whined and got the Supreme Court to overrule him

    And then Biden enacted another student debt forgiveness plan he'd been working on since day one as president, but it took months of paperwork to enact

  27. The GOP thinks it has a messaging problem 🤣

    What it really has is a solutions problem for ordinary Americans. They have no solutions for affordable #healthcare, #housing, #StudentDebt

    Trickle down has failed, the #2026MidTermElection consequences are inevitable. No amount of lipstick application will make the #BigBeautifulBill look anything different than the pig it is - a giveaway for #billionaires
