Lobbies are doing it for themselves

Peak university groups are pitching the case for research (CMM yesterday) and UTS is organising a presence for the equity-community.

The university hosted an equity practitioners strategy session a couple of weeks back, where Verity Firth set out what reads like talking points for campaigners. Higher Education is “showing signs of socio-economic segregation,” she said in a paper (CMM March 21).

Now UTS has an e-survey on equity-issues the Accord will likely address,here.
