A Senate probe reveals widespread university failures in Australia due to profit-driven reforms, prompting calls for major structural changes.
A bipartisan Senate inquiry has found systemic governance failures in Australia's universities, driven by corporatisation, excessive executive pay, and reliance on casual staff, leading to harm for students and staff.
The final report recommends eight reforms, including state-level legislative reviews, federal laws to limit casual teaching and improve teaching quality, mandatory reporting of casual staff numbers, and stronger academic boards.
It calls for greater transparency, accountability, and public oversight, urging governments to prioritize education over profit.
The National Tertiary Education Union welcomed the findings as a turning point, while the Australian Greens urged further action, including reversing fee hikes and ensuring democratic governance.
