Title

Dual-sector university cohesion: a discussion paper

Author(s)

Matthews, Peter;  Murphy, Dale

Abstract

The Dual-Sector University Collaboration Project investigates the ways that the dual-sector universities could evolve to become more cohesive, effective and agile organisations that build upon the connection between their Technical and Further Education (TAFE) and Higher Education (HE) sectors in a period of dynamic policy and economic change. The three steps taken in this initial stage of the project were: 1. Understand the external environment and drivers of change and identify major internal problems that dual-sector universities face; 2. Consider the ways that dual- sector universities can position themselves to be distinctive and best serve the 'public good'; and, 3. Identify the barriers to achieving these aspirations and consider how such barriers might be overcome.
