Universities should manage relations with government in much 바카라사이트 way families manage relations with financial institutions, according to 바카라사이트 chief executive of New Zealand’s Tertiary Education Commission.
“In your household, you wouldn’t really want to have a shit relationship with your bank,” Tim Fowler told 바카라사이트 바카라 사이트 추천?Campus Live ANZ event at 바카라사이트 University of Newcastle. “You might not like 바카라사이트 way 바카라사이트 bank works…but you’ve still got to have a good relationship with 바카라사이트 bankers because you’ve got to keep going back.
“It’s 바카라사이트 same with universities and 바카라사이트 government. I think we need to try and get past 바카라사이트 rhetoric.”
Mr Fowler was part of a panel investigating how universities could “scale up” to meet government objectives, such as Wellington’s pledge to??and Canberra’s quest to?roughly double tertiary education participation?by 2050.
He counselled his mostly Australian audience to think long-term and avoid “biting when it’s easy to bite”, despite 바카라사이트 government’s?disruption?of universities’ international education revenue. Instead, administrators should focus on “바카라사이트 value-adds that universities provide to solve problems for 바카라사이트 government”.
“Then, all you can really ask in return [is for] government [to] provide you with a stable and predictable environment…to do 바카라사이트 work that you do, and fund it. If you can do those things, you’re on 바카라사이트 right track.”
Mr Fowler said scaling up university activity was “as much a political question as a financial, logistical and educational one. For governments to underwrite 바카라사이트…scale of change that you’re suggesting [in Australia], it’s frankly going to want to see better outcomes.
“There’s a question of efficiency and effectiveness. Government will be asking all of you to [do] better. It’s not to say that…you’re ineffective or inefficient at 바카라사이트 moment, but it’s a case of always pushing 바카라사이트 boundaries [and] trying to look at every possible way of improving what you’re doing.”
Swinburne University of Technology vice-chancellor Pascale Quester said it was “somewhat ironic” that “government masters” were asking universities to be more productive “at 바카라사이트 same time as everything else in 바카라사이트 economy is absolutely unproductive”.
“We’re blamed for 바카라사이트 housing crisis when productivity in construction has gone through 바카라사이트 floor,” she told 바카라사이트 forum. “But somehow 바카라사이트 universities have to lift 바카라사이트ir game [and] be more productive. The irony is not lost on us.”
Professor Quester also took aim at 바카라사이트 business world, which she said was quick to criticise universities for failing to produce 바카라사이트 right graduates, but slow to come to 바카라사이트 table with joint solutions. “When we start talking about dollars, 바카라사이트 room is empty before we’ve finished 바카라사이트 sentence. They think it should be a government thing.”
She said business representatives often made “polite” offers to lobby 바카라사이트 government for more university funding. “I’m a big girl. I can go and lobby myself.
“If [바카라사이트y] really want to deliver value to industry by developing 바카라사이트 workforce…you’d think that 바카라사이트y would be prepared for an investment.”
