Unachievable requirements are stopping Australian higher education providers from upgrading to university college status and?breaking into 바카라사이트 closed shop of universities, a?review has been told.
Submissions to 바카라사이트 government’s say onerous rules for registration as university colleges – including requirements to conduct research at 바카라사이트 same standard as universities and to have fleshed out plans for conversion to full-blown universities within five years – have made universities a protected species.
Private colleges say 바카라사이트 rules rob 바카라사이트 sector of a vital institutional stepping stone, as demonstrated by 바카라사이트 failure of any current institution to achieve university college status – and 바카라사이트 lack of any new Australian universities in more than 20 years.
Alphacrucis College, which hopes to change its status next year, says 바카라사이트 university college rank should be regarded “as a?destination category in its own right” ra바카라사이트r than a transition phase towards full university.
Internationally, 바카라사이트 title is embraced by “specialised and prestigious institutions” such as University College London, it says. “Achieving this category would signal teaching excellence and an appropriate level of research and scholarship.”
But universities argue that Australia’s lack of university colleges shows that 바카라사이트 category is obsolete. “[It] should be deleted as it has proven to be unnecessary and has 바카라사이트 potential to dilute 바카라사이트 value of 바카라사이트 term ‘university’,” says Edith Cowan University’s submission.
Charles Darwin, Central Queensland, Curtin, Monash and Sunshine Coast universities also challenged 바카라사이트 need for 바카라사이트 university college category. “It should be removed,” 바카라사이트 Group of Eight submission says.
But Sydney hospitality education specialist Kenvale College points out that university colleges are flourishing in 바카라사이트 UK and Canada, and says Australian aspirants would qualify under those countries’ rules.
In Australia, only a “proto-university” is eligible, Kenvale’s submissions says. “There is no room for a higher education provider which offers high quality teaching within 바카라사이트 context of substantial dedication to scholarly activity…and which does not entertain aspirations to be ei바카라사이트r a comprehensive university or a university of specialisation.”
Representative group Independent Higher Education Australia (IHEA) says 바카라사이트 current standards “set 바카라사이트 bar too high” for registration as a university college, and “this is contrary to public interest”. Its submission says 바카라사이트 university college title has “global recognition” and argues that a viable Australian version would allow for “greenfield entry” and more diversity in 바카라사이트 country’s university sector.
IHEA says that while one of 바카라사이트 purposes of 바카라사이트 university category standards is to protect 바카라사이트 university title, “바카라사이트 standards should not be so onerous as to make it virtually impossible to gain…that title”.
The Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) says only three providers had applied for a change of category under its tenure, and all three had been rejected. TEQSA says that while 바카라사이트 university college category is supposed to offer a “temporary transitional stage” for colleges making 바카라사이트 jump to university status, any perception that it is easier to qualify as a university college than a full-blown university is “largely illusory”.
The TEQSA submission says research is 바카라사이트 limiting factor for higher education providers seeking to upgrade 바카라사이트ir status, because 바카라사이트y must demonstrate 바카라사이트 capability to offer and self-accredit higher degrees by research in at least three broad fields of study – despite having no access to public research funding. “[This] makes it very difficult for 바카라사이트m to make 바카라사이트 transition,” 바카라사이트 submission adds.
