    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’.

  2. I'm enrolled in a Graduate Certificate at Charles Sturt University and it's quite a terrible experience. I was excited to start this course as it felt like a concrete path towards a career change, but now I'm feeling a little lost.

    The course content is poor, and class engagement is non-existent. Is this just what I should expect from tertiary education in 2025?

    How do I think about this 'sunk cost'? (Has anyone ever received a refund from a university?)

    Should I just continue to jump through the hoops to graduate?

    Would love to hear your thoughts in comments or PM 🎓
