Join Peter Høj and David Lloyd as they explain what is happening with insights relevant to every university at 2pm AEST on Wednesday 21 May – brought to you free of charge by Future Campus.
The vice-chancellors of the imminently-ending Uni Adelaide and Uni SA talk to Stephen Matchett and Tim Winkler about one of the most extraordinary higher education adventures in a generation.
After a decade of off and on argument about a huge public university in South Australia, the State is a bare six months from the launch of one of the biggest single HE reforms since John Dawkins created a mass HE system.
Whether the new Adelaide U will attract many, many more international students, as Premier Peter Malinauskas expects, is unknown. So is, whether it will be too big and too slow, as critics warn.
What we do know is that Høj and Lloyd have got Adelaide U to the starters’ gate.
In this Zoom discussion we will ask them;
- can a plan based on attracting more internationals deliver in the new era of quotas
- will the new uni have one, two or even three research strategies
- are staff from the two predecessors on a “unity ticket” for Uni Adelaide to succeed
- are existing students going to notice
- will the new university be ready to go from January 1
- are staff from the two predecessors on a “unity ticket” for Uni Adelaide to succeed
- does the SA community get what is happening
- what they got right from the start of the process and what took a little longer
- this will be a hard act to follow – so what are their next tricks?
Join us to hear what they have to say about what must have been the time of their working lives.
