Following on from Alison Johns’ recent Guardian post, Five ways to improve leadership in universities, we look to ways to develop leadership capacity for the many who contribute towards leadership in higher education. Johns asserts that university leaders would do well to consider a focus on creating development opportunities, proactively improving diversity, addressing work-life balance, attracting leaders with outside experience, and analysing the motivations of potential leaders.

The challenge of universities is to be more engaged with adding value to the competencies of their students in a supportive research environment. Competencies are broader than cognitive skills and extend also to the behavioural side. More...

This paper explores the key public policy assumptions underlying three of the four sequential and overlapping phases of higher education and university research in Australia:

• The academic-elite phase (1945 – 1985)
• The state-mass phase (1985 – 2005)
• The market-universal phase (post-2005).

The pre-1945 phase, which largely pre-dated Australian government involvement in higher education, is not explored in this paper, except to the extent of its academic-elite and market legacies. More...

In their second article in the Australian Universities Finances series, Frank Larkins and Ian Marshman focus on the highly competitive international student market and analyse our universities performance over the period 2004-2014. Their analysis reinforces some of the conclusions in their previous paper and the 2013 LH Martin Institute/ACER University Profiling Study, namely that our university sector shows clear signs of differentiation that reinforce the stratified nature of the system.

The university system, like many work sectors, has a problem with gender equity in leadership positions (Bell, 2010). This is a problem not just in Australia, but globally. For instance, a recent survey of 32 Pacific Rim universities, including 4 Australian universities, found that men are significantly more likely to occupy senior management positions than women (Brewer, 2014).

The latest publicly available financial data for Australian Universities are for 2014. Universities sourced revenues of $27.15 billion and expended $25.34 billion for their higher education and independent operations. Some 60.4% of funding came from government sources, including HECS payments. The University of Melbourne had the most revenue at $2.12 billion, equivalent to $590,440 per academic staff FTE. Five universities had revenues of more than $1.6 billion. These five highest revenue earners had a combined income that was more than the total revenues for the 22 smallest universities. More...

In 2009, the Commonwealth developed a National Partnership Agreement for Voational Education and Training (VET) that proposed the introduction of competitive funding arrangements into training.
This agreement did not proceed because of State reluctance and ACTU pressure not to extend the recent reforms by the Brumby Government in Victorian VET into the other States. The exposure of TAFEs to competition, notably from community, private and employer-operated registered training organisations (RTOs) was strongly resisted. More...
