Uni Melbourne plans for a decade

In less a low-profile than subterranean release Uni Melbourne announced its ten year strategy, 3.50 on Friday afternoon

“At a time when many institutions are suffering a loss of public trust and the nature of knowledge itself is under question, a university can serve society well through renewing its focus on engaging with its communities.  … We must strengthen our compact with society, and remain true to our purpose to fulfil our mission as a public-spirited institution,” Vice Chancellor Duncan Maskell says.

The strategy sets five goals and 19 priorities to reach them, including; “intensify our commitment to an exceptional student experience that continues beyond graduation,” and “become a hub of knowledge and research for the Asia Pacific region.” There are no specifics on how the university will know it has achieved them.
