ANU’s lock on teaching strategy to Defence community could end

The feds are tendering for a university to run the courses taught by the Australian War College, which is responsible for the delivery of “joint professional military education,” in-person and via DE to people in the armed forces and public sector.

ANU’s Defence and Strategic Studies Centre now teaches strategy, operations, Australian strategic and defence policy and command/leadership for the AWC.

ANU staff are based at the college, “to ensure that the educational opportunity for students is of the same high standard as that delivered at the ANU main campus.”

Given the university’s deep-state standing with the national security establishment this is surely a tender it will want to win.

ANU did not respond to a written request for comment.
