@andrewjnorton Regional students on metro campuses tend to struggle financially (having to move away from home) and socially (losing their support network). Not providing needs-based funding to regional students on metro campuses is likely to reduce support and limit choice for students

#TEQSA23 joining online this year. The benefit of this is that I can have a belly laugh moment while @LisaBolton_QILT is presenting! Very idiosyncratic ways Australian universities input their equity data. I can 💯 attest to that!

@andrewjnorton They used to release figures in September. I appreciate that was pre-TCSI…

@andrewjnorton Any word on when we’ll get 2022?!

@KiftSally @ACUmedia Such a shame they’re a direct clash too!!

@andrewjnorton @OESdotcom Maybe it shows different levels of outsourcing to partners? At Swinburne, for example, this count would not include support provided to online students through OES or all students through Swinburne Student Life

@barriecassidy It is a game changer! In tears 💜

This is such a game changer.

Here is my contribution to the discussion about the ongoing relevance of the national equity groups: Tracking student equity in higher education: Improving the status quo (while not throwing out the baby with the bathwater) https://t.co/iLgoEx0VnL

#qanda Yes! Unpaid placement question!! We need change! The status quo is not sustainable!!

@conoranalysis It’s a question of priorities: most Australian universities have a reference to equity/equal opportunity/social justice in their mission statements. How does that get operationalised? Who leads this agenda? Is it important enough to create a senior role?

[Equity by Design @Equity_ByDesign]

@conoranalysis At their best, Equity leaders and teams can have institution-wide impact. Think Mary Kelly at QUT, Judy Skene at UWA, Verity Firth at UTS, Kylie Austin at UOW. I’d like to think I did at Deakin and, to a lesser extent, at Swinburne.

[Equity by Design @Equity_ByDesign]

@conoranalysis Where Equity Directors exist as direct reports to Execs and can use that positional power to drive an equity agenda, real change can happen. Where they get sidelined and relegated to the lower echelons, they operate in disconnected siloes

[Equity by Design @Equity_ByDesign]

@conoranalysis I think you need to distinguish pre-2010 efforts from everything that came after. At its peak, HEPPP was 12 times larger than its predecessor program
