The recently released Senate report into ATEC does not make an inspiring read. Read our view on ATEC here.
Opinion: Atec will fall short of ambition unless its independence is guaranteed, say Jesse Gardner-Russell and Richard Lee

Are these the happiest PhD students in the world?
We spoke with Nature on why Australian PhD candidates are some of the happiest in the world, but also some of the most underpaid.

Higher education was the only part of the sector which saw an increase in international student commencements this year.
Growth in education and health... despite job cuts in some institutions in those areas.

Student voices silenced: they need resources to speak out. Preach! campusmorningmail.com.au/new…
Uni financial results: some look better than they want to admit campusmorningmail.com.au/new… @NTEUnion @NUS_President #highered
@ScottMorrisonMP the federal government did not accomodate the needs of international students during the pandemic. This is now the direct consequence, 'australia's 4th largest export, now crippled'

@tanya_plibersek @stuartrobertmp @AlboMP @ScottMorrisonMP @JoshFrydenberg so inflation is a 20 year high but there is no consideration to adjust the base rate of PhD stipends to match the increasing living cost? Researchers don't run on coal. #auspol2022 #HDR #inflation #phdlife
With the Prime Minister about to call the election the NTEU, @NUS_President, @natsipa_edu_au and @CAPAPresident have an important message for young people: if you want to have your say about the future of higher education, enrol to vote! #SaveHigherEd #FundUniFairly #SecureJobs
Postgrads left out in the cold, again. Did not see anything that improve quality of education. New PhD programs always welcome, but nothing to help current students that struggled through the pandemic. #Budget2022 #auspol
Shout out to @SenKimCarr for his contributions to Australian Higher Education and research over many years. There will always be those with opposing views, but it is fair to say the senate will be at a loss without your presence. #auspol

Very concerning that postgraduate reseach students are more likely to be sexually harassed by a university staff member they know...
@ScottMorrisonMP never to late to make a commitment to change.
There is a sort of politician, as opposed to another type of politicians.. That, you know [fill in the blank].
Why can't we just play nice?
