Last year the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency  marked MU down – re-registering it for four years instead of the usual university seven (CMM July 9).

But now the issues that troubled TEQSA are addressed.

Chancellor Gary Smith tells staff, “the university has made significant progress to implement the recommendations of several reviews of academic and corporate governance and has made considerable strides in enhancing the monitoring and benchmarking of our courses.”

The regulator apparently agrees – extending MU’s registration to June 2028.
