  • 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.

  • Alumni News 29
    NEWS ALUMNIDecember • Issue 29 - 2005 UNIVERSITY OF TASMANIA Delivering more than ever Providing mail room solutions for the University of Tasmania. Welcome to the 2005 end of year edition of Alumni News Australian universities are about the same size as a medieval city, a small town or a city suburb. They are mini-civilisations – small communities within a broader web. As the State of Tasmania’s only university, we at UTAS have always felt a strong sense of duty towards the community that we were born from. And as our State grows in both size and economic wealth, we too are growing. So is our economic contribution. We are planning for “20,000 by 2020” – around 20,000 full-time equivalent students by the year 2020. We are already the third largest non-government employer in the State, and 85 per cent of our budget remains here on the island. Our international students contribute around $50 million to the State’s thriving economy, and for every 100 new UTAS students around 26 Tasmanian jobs are created. As one of the top ten research universities in the country, it is gratifying to note that UTAS research and development makes up some 30 per cent of Tasmania’s innovation. Australia is becoming an increasingly challenging environment in which to run a university – both economically and ideologically – so we are delighted that the fiscal relationship we have with our State is a healthy one. But it is not, of course, the be-all and the end-all. We are in the business of creating human capital.

    Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania, Volume 118, 1984 (ms. received 24.11.1984) GENERAL FEATURES OF THE ECOLOGY AND BIOGEOGRAPHY OF TASMANIAN SUBTIDAL ROCKY SHORE COMMUNITIES by G.J. Edgar Department of Zoology, University of Tasmania (with two tables, four text-figures and one plate) ABSTRACT EDGAR, G.J., 1984 (31 viii): General features of the ecology and biogeography of Tasmanian subtidal rocky shore communities. Pap. Proc. R. Soc. Tasm., 118: 173-186, pl. 1. https://doi.org/10.26749/rstpp.118.173 ISSN 0080-4703. Department of Zoology, University of Tasmania, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia, now C.S.I.R.O., P.O. Box 20, North Beach, Western Australia. A number of subtidal benthic assemblages of plants and animals which commonly occur around the Tasmanian coast are described. These assemblages are incorporated into a gen­ eral scheme which relates subtidal zonation patterns to wave exposure and depth. The existence of a cool-temperate marine biogeographic province (the Maugean), centred in southern, western and eastern Tasmanian waters, is reaffirmed. The biota of the northern Tasmanian coast is considered similar to that of the Victorian coast and in­ cludes a large component of Flindersian (Southern Australian) species. A number of Peronian (New South Wales) species reach the Tasmanian east coast. Most of these animals probably drift to Tasmania as pelagic larvae in southward flowing currents, and may even travel further afield to New Zealand, but have difficulty surviving to maturity and spawn­ ing. Many Maugean plant and animal species also occur in New Zealand. INTRODUCTION A considerable number of studies describing Tasmanian intertidal communities have been reported, notably by Guiler (1952a,b, 1954), Guiler et al.

  • MEDIA RELEASE NEWS from the UNIVERSITY of TASMANIA DATE: TUESDAY 8 SEPTEMBER, 2009 ATTENTION: Chiefs of Staff, News Directors
    MEDIA RELEASE NEWS FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF TASMANIA DATE: TUESDAY 8 SEPTEMBER, 2009 ATTENTION: Chiefs of Staff, News Directors New era of commercialisation at UTAS The University of Tasmania today announced a significant commercialisation partnership that will achieve a greater conversion of its research onto the global market. UTAS Vice-Chancellor Professor Daryl Le Grew said the partnership with technology transfer company, UniQuest, was a milestone for UTAS research and would expose the untapped potential of research innovation in Tasmania. “UTAS is a research-driven university producing international-standard research. This partnership heralds a new era in commercialisation to ensure our results can be transferred into the global community,” Prof Le Grew said. “The UniQuest collaboration is the first of its kind for UTAS and allows us to work together to identify, package and commercialise university technologies and expertise to the community, industry, business and governments.” The University of Queensland-based UniQuest is one of Australia’s leading university technology transfer companies, and the organisation that paved the way for Australian intellectual property to have a world-wide impact with such innovations as the cervical cancer vaccine Gardasil and the Triple P Positive Parenting Program. In 2007 and 2008, UniQuest secured more than $176 million in commercialisation revenue. The company also has partnerships with the University of Wollongong, University of Technology Sydney, James Cook University and the Mater Medical Research institute. UniQuest Managers of Innovation and Commercial Development will be located at the Sandy Bay campus, working with the UTAS Research Office Commercialisation Unit to develop commercial potential for research innovations, organise patent protection and deliver commercialisation results.
