By Paul Kniest. The House Representatives has passed the Higher Education and Research Reform Amendment Bill 2014.
The Bill includes amendments to the Higher Education Support Act (HESA) 2003 and other legislation which if adopted would implement the government’s proposed changes to higher education as announced in the 2014-15 Budget. The Bill is made up of following ten schedules:
- Deregulation, expansion of demand driven system and other measures
- New Commonwealth Scholarship Scheme
- Indexation of HELP debts
- Minimum Repayments for HELP debts
- Research funding and research students
- VET-FEE HELP loans and fee limits
- HECS-HELP benefit
- Indexation amounts
- University name change
- New Zealand citizens. More...
By Paul Kniest. Today the Senate agreed to refer the Higher Education and Research Reform Amendment Bill 2014 to Senate’s Education and Employment Legislation Committee.
Details for the inquiry can be found at Senate Education and Employment Committee website. More...
By Courtney Sloane (NTEU National Office). The National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) is confident that today’s Senate decision to refer the Higher Education and Research Reform Amendment Bill 2014 to the Senate’s Education and Employment Legislation Committee will expose Minister Pyne’s policy agenda as one that will undermine the fundamental characteristic of Australia’s public higher education system: where access is based on a student’s academic ability and not their capacity to pay.
The Inquiry will be presented with evidence that will clearly show that:
- The proposal to impose market determined interest rates on HELP debt will impact most heavily on low income graduates and those who take career breaks, predominantly women;
- The 20% cut in funding per student will impact heavily upon regional and outer metropolitan universities, who are most reliant on government funding as they will be constrained in their ability to compensate for lost revenue from increased student fees;
- The operation of the new Commonwealth scholarship scheme is structurally flawed and inherently unfair on those universities with relatively large numbers of disadvantaged students;
- The cuts to research training funding and the introduction of tuition fees for higher degree research (PhD) students will make pursuing an academic or research career even more unattractive for Australia’s brightest students; and
- The opening up of government supported places to private for-profit providers will undermine the financial viability of some of our public universities just as similar policies in Victorian vocational education have failed public TAFE institutes. More...

A new data centre, funded with £900,000 from HEFCE, will open up high-performance computing at a reasonable price to a consortium of universities and research institutes under a five-year agreement.
By joining forces, and with Jisc acting as broker, the six partners will get a better deal, giving them access to the first shared-services data centre for academic and medical research in the UK. The initial partners in this project are University College London, Kings College London, the Sanger Institute, the Francis Crick Institute, the London School of Economics and Political Science and Queen Mary University of London.
