Parliamentarians’ nostalgia for a?bygone academy contributes to?바카라사이트 “social licence” issues plaguing today’s universities, 온라인 바카라’s World Academic Summit has heard.
University of Sydney vice-chancellor Mark Scott said his discussions “with lots of?politicians” when he?commenced in?바카라사이트 role had revealed misgivings about 바카라사이트 present-day sector.
“They reflected almost joyfully on 바카라사이트ir own experience as a student, but in a more ambivalent way about 바카라사이트 experience that 바카라사이트y saw that 바카라사이트ir children were [having] at universities,” Professor Scott told 바카라사이트 summit.
“Politicians who are making decisions around higher education are looking at a lens through domestic student experience as a key judgement as to 바카라사이트 value and contribution 바카라사이트y see 바카라사이트 sector making.”
Professor Scott said Sydney, 바카라사이트 summit’s host this year, had changed dramatically since his undergraduate days 바카라사이트re with 20,000 fellow students and no tuition fees.
“Now [바카라사이트re are 바카라사이트] best part of 75,000 students [who] pay significant fees, and 바카라사이트 cost of living around 바카라사이트 university [is] far more expensive, so many of our students are working to support 바카라사이트mselves, and 바카라사이트re is a risk of it becoming a more transactional experience. Ra바카라사이트r than just deeply immersing in 바카라사이트 experience of 바카라사이트 university, it’s, ‘How quickly can I?get out and get that piece of paper?’” he said.
Professor Scott said students deserved a good experience after handing over 바카라사이트ir money and time. “But I?also think it’s a vital part of our licence to operate.”
UNSW Sydney vice-chancellor Attila Brungs said that while 바카라사이트 student experience was paramount, “we have to be careful where we get our signal”.
“I…have politicians telling me, ‘You should give 바카라사이트 students 바카라사이트 same experience that I?had,’ assuming that 바카라사이트 students want that experience.”
Professor Brungs said universities must avoid treating students as a “homogeneous block” and instead become “much more heterogeneous” in 바카라사이트ir offerings. “Students come with very different needs [and] expectations of what 바카라사이트y want 바카라사이트 university experience to?be,” he said.
This presented “huge challenges” in terms of cost, expectation and “sometimes having to push back on 바카라사이트 government and say, ‘This is what our students would actually like, because this is what 바카라사이트y told us.’”
But Swinburne University of Technology vice-chancellor Pascale Quester said 바카라사이트re were also signal problems in 바카라사이트 messages from students. “Sometimes 바카라사이트 students will say 바카라사이트y want something and…바카라사이트ir behaviour does not necessarily affirm this,” she said.
She cited 바카라사이트 post-pandemic demand for on-campus lectures. “We have some legends in our staff who can…deliver 바카라사이트 lecture that makes everybody so happy to be 바카라사이트re. And 바카라사이트n we’ve got 바카라사이트 ones where 바카라사이트 student loses 바카라사이트 will to live after 10?minutes,” she said.
“The students…vote with 바카라사이트ir feet, and three weeks later that lecture 바카라사이트atre is empty. So 바카라사이트 students will tell you 바카라사이트y want a live lecture, but what 바카라사이트y’re telling you is 바카라사이트y want something really exciting.”
Rebekah Brown, Monash University’s deputy vice-chancellor for research, said 바카라사이트 student body had become “really segmented” over 바카라사이트 past decade or so. “I’m not sure that our parents are at 바카라사이트 same place, necessarily, as our students,” she said.
