We're (virtually) at the QAA UK Evolving Student Engagement Conference this evening!

Had a great chat about the interaction between contract cheating prevention and student welfare, and the campaign for academic cheating laws in the UK 🌏

“How can we expect to rebuild with this government hellbent on decimating teaching and research?”

My words in The Guardian this morning.

The first genomic sequencing of SARS-CoV-2, without which there would be no vaccines, was done by Prof Eddie Holmes from @Sydney_Uni in partnership with Dr Yong-Zhen Zhang of Fudan Uni. The crucial importance of Aust uni research ignored in #Budget2021

[Felix Hughes @NUS_President]

The Federal Government has allocated $811mil for offshore detention. With 239 people currently detained, that’s $3.4mil per person.

This Government has prioritised locking up innocent lives over giving people a living wage. #Budget2021 #auspol

[Alison Barnes @AlisonBarnes25]

The Treasurer can talk about “skills”, “jobs” & “innovation” all he likes - but in the background is a higher education sector burning; what should be the engine room of all these things abandoned by the Govt and immeasurable expertise lost with 17,000 out of work. #Budget2021

[Mehreen Faruqi @MehreenFaruqi]

The budget cuts uni funding by 10% over the next four years, but gives hundreds of millions of dollar to for-profit education corporations.

Education should NEVER be for profit. We need free & universal public education from early childhood to retirement.

[NUS Education Department @NUSEducation]

Expenses under the higher education sub-function are expected to decrease by 8.3% from 2020-21 to 2021-22 and decrease by 9.3% in real terms from 2021-22 to 2024-25. #budget21 #fundunifairly #saveourstudents

[NTEU @NTEUnion]

Around 10% cut in uni funding.

Those cuts will sting 250,000 workers, the next generation and our 4th largest export industry

Who’s going to research the next vaccine?

Young people will be paying the bill of this Federal Budget for decades, whilst simultaneously living through the worsening impacts of climate change. We're on Parliament lawn calling on the Government to #FundOurFutureNotGas! #Budget2021

[Baron von Freedom. ✠🛩️ *March for Aust. Approved @BaronvonKlar]

Let's remember the budget from 3 years ago shall we? Who was treasurer then and what were his priorities? 🤔
