  • Research Funding of Australian Universities: Are There Increasing Concentration?
    Research Funding of Australian Universities: Are There Increasing Concentration? Thi Mai Anh Nguyena, Alicia Rambaldia, Kam Ki Tanga a. University of Queensland, Australia Abstract Australia’s higher education sector is facing a watershed moment of its research funding regime. The Federal Government has proposed to change from the long-standing funding model that heavily based on publication output, to one based on publication plus industry engagement. In this paper, we take stock of how research funding is raised and allocated within the sector over the past two decades. It is found that the share of total research funding by university groups have barely changed. But the discipline of Biological and Clinical Sciences has increasingly dominated competitive funding schemes. Keywords: Research funding, ARC, NHMRC 1 Introduction Australia’s higher education sector is facing unprecedented challenges from both domestic and international fronts. In the past 20 years, the sector has experienced cuts in federal funding on a per student basis (Marginson 2001), a trend that puts pressure on Australian universities to increasingly rely on student fees. Australian universities are increasingly looking to overseas education markets as a source of funding. However, competition for international students has intensified rapidly with the entry of non-English speaking countries from Europe (e.g. France) and Asia (e.g. China) in additional to English speaking countries like the US and Singapore. What adds to this already complex environment is the spectacular rise of global university rankings in the past decade. These rankings are deemed a ‘consumer guide’ by international students or even public organizations (Hazelkorn 2007; HEFCE 2008), and they typically put overwhelming weights on research, especially The Academic Ranking of World Universities (commonly unknown as Shanghai Jiao Tong University ranking).

  • Time for a Western Australian ‘Group of Three’? a Speculative Essay
    AUSTRALIAN UNIVERSITIES’ REVIEW Time for a Western Australian ‘Group of Three’? A speculative essay Michael Turner & Alistair Brown Curtin University This study analyses the theoretical cost-savings that might flow from a merger of three of Western Australia’s five universities. The results of the study show that an amalgamation would not only reduce costs of operation, but also improve non-current asset use and accountability. Combination reporting also allows the key stakeholders to appraise these universities’ main financial activities, which appear to be maintaining a relatively high level of non-salary expenditure as a percentage of revenue and preserving a very high percentage of land and buildings as mainstay assets. Keywords: mergers, efficiency and effectiveness, Western Australian universities Introduction Most of Australia’s first universities were founded in the 19th century in other states (although the University of This paper explores the potential cost savings from Queensland was founded in 1909), with the University of a creation of a Western Australian Group of Three Western Australia (UWA) founded in 1911 but opened in university (WAGo3), via an amalgamation of three of the 1913.
