Some HE lobbies were quick to applaud Peter Coaldrake’s appointment as a TEQSA commissioner

Independent Tertiary Education Council Australia was first, saying his “broad understanding of the issues before Australia’s higher education sector will serve both TEQSA and independent higher education providers well.”

The Australian Technology Network also congratulated Coaldrake and “looks forward” to continuing a “strong partnership” with TEQSA.

And Independent Higher Education Australia was also welcoming saying it had “developed a strong working relationship” with Professor Coaldrake during his review of provider category standards, last year.
