The March decision to end journalism courses is spiked

The private HE provider has reversed its decision to withdraw its bachelor and dip. The Tuition Protection Service reports the college has told students, “they can stay enrolled and continue/complete their journalism course as planned.”

Macleay’s original decision upset students and attracted attention from regulators, who pointed out the college’s legal obligations (CMM March 14, 15).

The TSP also advises that if students are, “not happy with how Macleay is advising or assisting them” they should get in touch, “and we will assist.”

Macleay has engaged HE consultants DVE Solutions, “for a short term piece of work to provide advice around improving a number of their processes.”  Head of Consulting Ian Thomson confirms Michael Tomlinson may be part of its team on the work. That’s the Mike Tomlinson who was the long-serving director of TEQSA’s assurance group.
