  • Corporatised Universities: an Educational and Cultural Disaster
    John Biggs and Richard Davis (eds), The Subversion of Australian Universities (Wollongong: Fund for Intellectual Dissent, 2002). Chapter 12 Corporatised universities: an educational and cultural disaster John Biggs Where from here? Australian universities have been heavily criticised in these pages, and some specific examples of where things have gone wrong have been reported in detail. Not everyone sees these events negatively, how- ever. Professor Don Aitken, until recently Vice-Chancellor of the University of Canberra, said: I remain optimistic about the future of higher education in Australia. … To regard what is happening to universities in Australia as simply the work of misguided politicians or managers is abysmally paro- chial.1 Are the authors in this book concentrating too much on the damage that has been done? Is a greater good emerging that we have missed so far? As was pointed out in the Preface, globalisation is upon us; it is less than helpful to command, Canute-like, the tide to retreat. Rather the wise thing would be to acknowledge what we cannot change, and focus on what we can change. At the least, we need a resolution that is more academically acceptable than the one we have. The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Edinburgh, Professor Stuart Sutherland, in commenting on parallel changes in Britain, put it this way: 185 The subversion of Australian universities The most critical task for universities is to recreate a sense of our own worth by refashioning our understanding of our identity — our under- standing of what the word “university” means. …The trouble is that in the process of expansion and diversification, the place that universities had at the table has not simply been redefined; it has been lost.2 Australian universities too have lost their place at the table.

Signature of Student: Date: 12 August 2014 3 INTRODUCTION Alf Pollard’s contribution to the business history of Australia is as yet unwritten—both as a biography of the man himself, but also his singular, albeit often quiet, achievements. He helped to shape the business world in which he operated and, in parallel, made outstanding contributions to Australian society. Cultural deprivation theory tells us that people who are working class have themselves to blame for the failure of their children in education1 and Alf was certainly from a low socio-economic, indeed extremely poor, family. He fitted such a child to the letter, although he later turned out to be an outstanding counter-example despite having no ‘built-in’ advantage as he not been socialised in a dominant wealthy culture.

To indicate the extent and nature of the administrative changes taking place in Australian education, three cameos are considered: New South Wales, Victoria, and the Commonwealth. The three case histories give an impression of constant upheaval, of rapid successions and political maneuvers and of policy turbulence. Illustrated is the kind of atmosphere within which public schools have operated during tne decade of the 1980's. Eleven common features and trends are identified.

He has been particularly interested in Australian cultural and intellectual history. From 1990-91, he was senior researcher (with Professor Bruce Mansfield) on the Macquarie University 25 Year History Project, which resulted in the book Liberality of Opportunity: A History of Macquarie University 1964-1989 (Sydney: Hale & Iremonger, 1992). At the completion of that project, he took up the position as founding Director of the Centre for the Study of Australian Christianity at Robert Menzies College (1991-1999), a research centre which produced numerous books, articles and working papers, and which attracted significant interest internationally. From 1998-2002, in addition, Mark was Assistant Director of the Currents in World Christianity Project at Cambridge University. From 2000-2010, he was Dean, Graduate Studies (later Dean of Academic Advancement), and Reader in History and Society, at Alphacrucis College, Sydney. Mark is currently University Historian at the University of Western Sydney in preparation for the celebration of the University’s 25th Anniversary in 2014, a position which he feels may best be viewed as helping one of Australia’s great universities reflect upon its own nature, mission and heritage.
