Universities have faced an onslaught of new red-tape and regulation. The cost of compliance-based reporting by Australia’s universities is estimated to be in excess of $500 million per annum – a staggering impost that diverts resources from where they are needed in teaching and world-leading research.
Go8 Chief Executive Vicki Thomson says the opportunity cost is enormous. “If the Government were to commit an additional $500 million dollars a year to targeted skills needs, the Go8 has identified that this would fund an estimated additional 1,000 graduating doctors a year and increase the production of domestic engineering bachelor graduates by two-thirds – both priorities identified by the Go8,” she said.
