UNE on the money for another campus

A learned reader points to another NSW election HE commitment (CMM Friday). The state government promises $26m for University of New England to expand in the regional city of Tamworth. The money is said to be contingent on the feds kicking in another $10m. If so, this shouldn’t be a problem, given the endlessly insistent Barnaby Joyce is the federal member, Education Minister Dan Tehan is focused on study opportunities in the regions and a national election looms. Unless, of course Labor gets in first and pre-commits money from the universities future fund it promises.
