Everything was changed, imperilled, numbed. First was the now dom-inant role of the federal government. Flinders staff were expected to share decision-making. For Canberra, the distinction between expensive university education and more economical technical training offered a compelling financial rationale. For foreign entrants, offering home-country credentials bypasses some of the more onerous accreditation procedures imposed by Australian governments.

Free education probably also contributed to greater female involvement in higher education, with women becoming the majority of students by 1987. Free tertiary education would end, with students now subject to a Higher Education Contribution Scheme (HECS). By then Niall was alert to the perils of biographies (those ‘border-crossings into other lives’): the moral scruples, the legal risks, the curse of good taste, the tenuous access to papers. Dawkins wanted to expand access for students to the system, and sympathised with CAE claims for university status.

During 2006 Minister Bishop has allowed institutions to begin this process, while Labor has proposed a formal mechanism, a negotiated compact between Canberra and each university, acknowledging different roles, missions and circumstances. Each soon resembled in basic organisation, courses offered and academic mission the original universities in Sydney and Melbourne. Even when you weren’t able to talk and laugh with them any longer, they felt sure of lively activity happening inside your head. Everything was changed, imperilled, numbed. Finally, Dawkins wanted consistent national standards.

Flinders staff were expected to share decision-making. Forty-one years after those first students reached Flinders, we need a similar bold moment of experimentation.

Four decades ago, most students starting at Flinders were destined for teaching or the public service. Free tertiary education would end, with students now subject to a Higher Education Contribution Scheme (HECS). Santamaria, a family acquaintance, offered her the editorship of Rural Life (a phase of her life she wrote about in greater detail when reviewing Santamaria’s letters in the March issue of ABR). She argues that biography was neglected in both editions of The Oxford Companion to Australian Literature (1985 and 1994), and regrets that her name only appears under ‘Turner’, ‘Bruce’ and ‘Boyd’. She missed a year of school because of illness, but she went on reading precociously, and the year at home seems to have sharpened her attachment to family. So from 2007 the VCA will become a faculty of the University of Melbourne rather than the independent ‘university of arts’ sometimes evoked as a government aspiration. Striving for difference was lost again as innovative research universities such as Flinders, established from the 1960s, were reshaped in more conventional form.

Subjects too expensive to run, or seen as insufficiently rigorous for a university, vanished along with the workforce of dedicated staff nurtured by colleges to pursue excellence in teaching. The 1960s saw unprecedented demand for higher education, a demand that grew with few interruptions for the next generation. The Australian insistence on just one type of public university has forced Flinders into a now all-too-familiar pattern.

Consistency has proved more valued than difference. Despite the insularity and pedagogical flaws, Niall did well at school and studied Arts at Melbourne University.Did free education allow daughters to follow sons to university, or did this trend simply reflect school retention rates, with female rates of Year 12 completion exceeding male ones from the late 1970s? During 2006 Minister Bishop has allowed institutions to begin this process, while Labor has proposed a formal mechanism, a negotiated compact between Canberra and each university, acknowledging different roles, missions and circumstances. Elsewhere, we have Richard Holmes’s seminal Footsteps: Adventures of a Romantic Biographer (1995) and Leon Edel’s Bloomsbury: A House of Lions (1979), but Australian examples are few. Evaluated against the objective of improving access to higher education, the reforms of 1987–91 proved a significant and sustained success. Eventually, she became his research assistant on a biography of Archbishop Mannix.

Everything was changed, imperilled, numbed. By the time the Dawkins wave of mergers concluded in the early 1990s, sixty-three higher education providers had become thirty-six universities, many with multiple campuses. Courses and campuses could not close without prior permission. zaudergrill nospirits-archive888lists.ietf.orgmo Dawkins announced that the Commonwealth would only support institutions with a minimum of 2000 full-time students.

Diversity’s institutional demise During 2006 Minister Bishop has allowed institutions to begin this process, while Labor has proposed a formal mechanism, a negotiated compact between Canberra and each university, acknowledging different roles, missions and circumstances. Each day, shortlists pour from our costive fax machine.

Close to the white mansion that John Wren built is Raheen, still occupied by Daniel Mannix, halfway through his immensely long archbishopric, and a vivid presence in the book, walking daily from Raheen to St Patrick’s Cathedral in his frock coat and top hat.

Faced with a pressing need to replace lost income, Australia’s public universities responded by increasing student-to-staff ratios and recruiting full-fee paying students, first from overseas and later locally. Faced with urgent complaints from the VCA and its supporters, Nelson did not rethink the funding model. Carnegie Mellon offers American rather than Australian degrees. Caroline Lurie was Elizabeth Jolley' s agent Death stalked the Niall family: several uncles died in quick succession, all young.

Finally, Canberra must surrender its close control of universities, since these regulations entrench conformity. First, universities need flexibility over student numbers.Forty-one years after those first students reached Flinders, we need a similar bold moment of experimentation. Given the very few options open to institutions facing annual budget cuts, the strategies adopted by public universities differed in detail but not in overall direction. School retention rates were rising, creating an annual shortage of tertiary places. Second was the desire by Dawkins to improve access.

Each move has been a considered response to Australia’s current and likely needs in higher education, with significant long-term effect.

Elsewhere, we have Richard Holmes’s seminal Footsteps: Adventures of a Romantic Biographer (1995) and Leon Edel’s Bloomsbury: A House of Lions (1979), but Australian examples are few. Engendering empathy towards suffering was something you tried to do in your work, not merely from principle but because you felt deeply for society’s outsiders. Evaluated against the objective of improving access to higher education, the reforms of 1987–91 proved a significant and sustained success. Even when the university began to teach medicine in 1975, the course was designed so that students would take majors in other faculties.

Consistency has proved more valued than difference. Diversity in non-university higher education

Even when you weren’t able to talk and laugh with them any longer, they felt sure of lively activity happening inside your head. FEE-HELP providers are a varied group. Finally, Canberra must surrender its close control of universities, since these regulations entrench conformity. First was the now dom-inant role of the federal government. For foreign entrants, offering home-country credentials bypasses some of the more onerous accreditation procedures imposed by Australian governments. From our starting point in 1966 until the start of the 1990s, the non-university tertiary sector supported an array of institutional types: colleges, institutes, conservatoria.

Allowing universities to set their own fees makes politicians nervous. Second was the desire by Dawkins to improve access. She began a master’s degree but this foundered, ‘with almost nothing written’.

She stayed, though, helping Santamaria, feeding him clippings. Since government wants to influence choice and availability, a fourth reform would be to use existing and future investment in more creative ways.
