Title: Private path is not the primrose way
Author(s): Young, Ian
Abstract: It would be fair to say that Australia is undergoing a revolution in the tertiary sector. But will Brendan Nelson's frenetic pace of proposed changes mean a better education for students? Presently universities are bracing themselves for another overhaul that could see changes to their research funding, the development of teaching-only universities, the removal of State Government controls, plus the hotly debated Voluntary Student Unionism bill which could see a significant decline in the range of campus activities and services provided. Are these independent items, or are they related? What will higher education look like should all or most of these changes be implemented? And just as importantly, how will this affect our students?
