  • Razor Gang to Dawkins: a History of Victoria College, an Australian College of Advanced Education
    Razor Gang to Dawkins: A History of Victoria College, an Australian College of Advanced Education Vivienne Carol Roche Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2003 Faculty of Education The University of Melbourne Abstract For ten years from 1982, Victoria College was a large multi-campus college of advanced education providing a diverse range of higher education programs to Australian and overseas students. This thesis outlines the history of Victoria College. It considers the circumstances that led to its creation through the forced amalgamation of four previously independent colleges of advanced education: the State Colleges of Victoria at Burwood, Rusden, and Toorak and the Prahran College of Advanced Education and examines the events which led to its merger with Deakin University in 1992. Australia’s binary system of higher education was intended to enhance the diversity of tertiary education as well as to increase the number of students able to gain a tertiary qualification. This thesis describes the role of Victoria College within the binary system and argues that the College did increase student and programmatic diversity within Australia’s higher education system. It describes how the four colleges that formed Victoria College responded to the forced amalgamation that resulted from the Commonwealth Government’s “Razor Gang” Report and the merger process that followed it. It traces the College’s early years and the development of its academic vision. These events support the academic literature on amalgamations that identify staff anxiety and opposition as well as the emotional costs as important features of involuntary mergers between two or more institutions.
