The recently released Senate report into ATEC does not make an inspiring read. Read our view on ATEC here.

Groups representing some of the key antagonists in Australia’s fractious governance debate have thrashed out a joint approach to university council membership, marking a rare moment of accord in the splintered sector. timeshighereducation.com/news/combatant…

Are these the happiest PhD students in the world? We spoke with Nature on why Australian PhD candidates are some of the happiest in the world, but also some of the most underpaid. @UniMelb @uniaus @Nature @GroupOfEight nature.com/articles/d4158…

Higher education was the only part of the sector which saw an increase in international student commencements this year. Growth in education and health... despite job cuts in some institutions in those areas. timeshighereducation.com/news/high-grow… via @timeshighered

5 out of 6 people believe unis prioritise profit over education with 50% expressing strong concerns. Unis must return to their core mission as public institutions. It's time to put education first! Sign the better unis pledge now: bit.ly/nteupledge

Delighted to address #graduate reps from around #Australia at the Grad Con hosted by UQU. Attendees were interested in my reflections on higher educ & student representation in the past, inc my term as @CAPAPresident, & #highereduc & #student representation now & in the future.

Chinese students have complained that they were misled about Australia, saying the “shocking” rise in cost of living is causing others to abandon their plans. news.com.au/finance/real-e…

Lovely to meet with representatives from @CAPAPresident for #ScienceMeetsParliament yesterday to discuss issues close to my heart - the importance of research & ensuring that researchers are adequately supported. PHD students deserve PPL & significantly higher stipends. #SMP2023

Its a sad truth, but this is why capa has functioned under caretaker status. honisoit.com/2023/03/capa-i… #auspol #highereducation #betterunis

@andrewjnorton There are other motivations at play for international students, some cultural driven. Completion can also be the means to starting a new life in Australia.

Some new DESE data on PhD completions. International students are more likely to complete than domestics. Efforts to improve domestic completions not having much effect. 1/5 app.powerbi.com/view?r=eyJrIjo…

@ScottMorrisonMP the federal government did not accomodate the needs of international students during the pandemic. This is now the direct consequence, 'australia's 4th largest export, now crippled' #auspol #savehighereducation @tanya_plibersek macrobusiness.com.au/2022/05/intern…

@tanya_plibersek @stuartrobertmp @AlboMP @ScottMorrisonMP @JoshFrydenberg so inflation is a 20 year high but there is no consideration to adjust the base rate of PhD stipends to match the increasing living cost? Researchers don't run on coal. #auspol2022 #HDR #inflation #phdlife
