4 July 2014 | The government has set out its deregulatory intentions for vocational training, signalling a shift away from "gateway control" to "responsive regulation". Speaking at a skills summit organised by the Australian Council of Private Education and Training and the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, industry minister Ian Macfarlane said the government had "revisited" the work of the now abolished National Skills Standards Council (NSCC) and released new draft standards for training providers and regulators. The proposed standards dump what the minister described as" several of the more contentious reforms" proposed by the former NSSC, notably measures that would have strengthened Registered Training Organisation (RTO) entry ("gateway") standards, including a change from registered training organisation to licensed training organisation. The proposed requirement for all RTOs to have an "Accountable Education Officer" has also been removed.. …..[ MORE ]….
4 July 2014 | Claire Field, the respected chief executive of the Australian Council for Private Education and Training (ACPET), has resigned. ACPET said Ms Field is leaving to pursue "new challenges" after four years in the job. Company secretary Larry Davies is now acting CEO pending the appointment of a permanent successor. The suddenness of the departure caught the sector by surprise, but ACPET chairman Martin Cass said it was entirely her decision to leave to pursue other opportunities and there was nothing to read into her departure. He said Ms Field has made a significant contribution to the private education and training sector during her four years as CEO of ACPET. Ms Field has been a strong advocate for ACPET members during a period of substantial change in both the higher education and vocational education and training sectors. She has also been instrumental in strengthening ACPET's focus on quality and lifting membership standards…..[ MORE ]….
4 Jly 2014 | Analysis by Leesa Wheelahan of recent VET statistics shows that TAFE's share of publicly funded in Australia students is now 55.6%. In Victoria TAFE's share of publicly funded students has fallen to 37.4%, while in South Australia it has fallen to 52.3%. Private providers now teach the majority of students in Victoria (50.5%), and they teach 44% of publicly funded students in South Australia. Wheelahan concludes that TAFE is "fast becoming a residual provider, left with teaching what the private providers don't want to or can't teach….It is forcing TAFE to be just like a private provider, with the narrow concerns of a private provider."…..[ MORE ]….
4 July 2014 | La Trobe University is planning to cut about 69 academic positions in its business, economic and law faculty with economics, accounting, management and marketing the worst hit.

3 July 2014 | The likely extension of commonwealth student subsidies to non-university providers portends big changes for the higher education sector.
Higher education provision outside universities is likely to increase significantly in the future, as a result of the government accepting a recommendation of the review of the demand driven funding system to expand eligibility for government-supported tuition subsidies, should the measure pass the Senate.
In this panel discussion chaired by the Grattan Institute's Andrew Norton, a member of the review panel, the nature of the non-university higher education sector, the implications for it and its students of receiving Commonwealth tuition subsidies, and the consequences for the broader higher education system are explored. Other panel members are Mary Faraone (Holmesglen Institute), Jeannie Rea (National Tertiary Education Union) and George Brown (Study Group Australasia).
3 July 2014 | The Scan has long been a proponent of "teaching only universities" (see One size does not fit all unis). In this piece in The Conversation, Gavin Moodie observes that there is no reason in principle, practice nor historical precedent to champion or oppose teaching only universities. But were the research requirement of universities removed from the higher education threshold standards he doesn't expect any current Australian university to relinquish its research role. Rightly or wrongly, he writes, research has become so embedded in universities' ethos and activities since the 1960s that it is central to all universities and to most academics' conception of themselves as universities and as university academics. Greg Craven, vice-chancellor of Australian Catholic University, argues that teaching only institutions would not be universities as we know them (no, they would not be, which is the point) and would impoverish students' educational experience (why would being exposed to good or excellent teaching and scholarship impoverish a student??).
With higher education changes meaning universities will soon be looking for ways to cut costs, many have been wondering if universities will give up on research to focus on where the money is – teaching students.
Teaching-only universities have long been contentious in Australia. Various people, interests and arguments promote teaching only universities, while other bodies and arguments support the Australian status quo.
In Australia, the higher education threshold standards restrict the title of university to institutions which conduct research and offer research masters and doctorates in at least three broad fields of study. The threshold standards are a regulation that may be changed by the government, if it is allowed by both houses of federal parliament.
Australia is unusual in making research a condition of designation as a university. Most institutions accepted as universities worldwide conduct no research, such as many universities in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Requirements differ across the OECD.
Aotearoa (New Zealand) and Massachusetts in the US make research a condition of designation as a university, but England and California do not. All universities in Ontario in Canada conduct research, but British Columbia has a category of teaching-only universities which were formerly community colleges before upgrading as university colleges and then as universities.
Research was established as an institutional role of universities relatively recently. Research has long been a personal activity of scholars, some of whom were located in universities, but it did not emerge as an institutional role until the 19th century.
Even so, a research role for universities was rejected by Cardinal Newman in his famous lectures on The Idea of a University as late as 1853. Research has been an institutional role of universities for only about one-fifth of their history since the establishment of the first European universities in the 11th and 12th centuries.
The 2014 TDA National Conference will be held in Sydney at the Sheraton on the Park from 31 August – 2 September. Earlybird and group registration discounts close on 7 July.
In his book Making the Modern World, Vaclav Smil argues that the most important man-made material is concrete, both in terms of the amount we produce each year and the total mass we've laid down. Concrete is the foundation (literally) for the massive expansion of urban areas of the past several decades, which has been a big factor in cutting the rate of extreme poverty in half since 1990. In 1950, the world made roughly as much steel as cement (a key ingredient in concrete); by 2010, steel production had grown by a factor of 8, but cement had gone up by a factor of 25.
This animated GIF shows the dramatic transformation of Shanghai since 1987. Most of what you're seeing in that picture is concrete, steel, and glass:

ABC News | 5 June 2014
The University of Melbourne plans to cut 540 administrative jobs (15% of the non-academic workforce) by January 2016 as part of a $70 million savings program. The job cuts do not include academic staff.
The university delivered the news to staff members at meeting earlier today. The university's vice chancellor, Professor Glyn Davis, issued a statement after the meeting:
It was not an easy message to deliver, or receive, that the university has to undertake this reduction in the total number of professional staff. We are hopeful we can minimise the impact on staff through natural attrition as the university had a turnover of 635 professional staff last year, and 580 the previous year.
We will focus on reducing the total number of casual and fixed term staff where we can and offer minimal redundancies.
Davis has ascribed the need for the cuts in part to the previous government's funding cuts, which cost the university $40 million a year, as well as a blowout in the bureaucracy because of his 2010 strategy to shift more administrative responsibility down to the faculties. He defended the strategy but said in hindsight the university should have acted earlier to improve efficiency.
Davis has warned has warned the university will lose up to $70 million a year more in Abbott government cuts, forcing a hike in student fees of an average of $1730 per student simply to cover those cuts .
The structural changes are a part of the university's Business Improvement Program.
As part of the cuts some academic support services will be either centralised or automated.
The university says it plans to dedicate 80% of the $70 million in planned savings to teaching, learning and research. It has also flagged plans to hire up to 300 academic staff because of the changes.
Old and new cuts put uni jobs at risk, says Melbourne University VC Glyn Davis

13 March 2014 | The government has flagged a shake-up of the National Rental Affordability Scheme (NRAS) in the wake of revelations the program has been manipulated to build student housing that is being let to wealthy foreign students. Two developers behind an 823-bed NRAS development in Sydney tapped more than $80 million in subsidies to construct a building to be filled largely by international students. Universities have also snapped up thousands of NRAS incentives to build large blocks of studio accommodation that is often taken up by fee-paying international students, who are the lifeblood of many universities' finances. It appears there are more than 1000 foreign students in NRAS properties……[ MORE ]….

13 March 2014 | Swinburne University may consider selling its mothballed Lilydale campus for non-educational purposes. Swinburne has officially stated its preference is to sell the site under the current educational zoning.

Virtual communities can provide an alternative to the on-campus experience but, as yet, there is little evidence to suggest that virtual engagement with peers and with content matter experts can provide the same benefits as being immersed in the intellectual culture on campus, writes Jason Lodge of Griffith University.
And do read this related essay by Kate Bowles on the creation of the space – or part of it, anyway – that the University of Wollongong occupies – For Leon Fuller.
Much hype and discussion has surrounded the evolution of online higher education over the last few years. Technology has now reached a point where it is conceivable that an education experience on the internet can be comparable to one on a university campus. However, just because it is conceivable does not necessarily make it so.
The learning that occurs differs markedly across disciplines and domains of knowledge. For example, it is relatively easy to comprehend how basic level accounting could be effectively learnt in a virtual environment.
It is not so simple when considering advanced surgical techniques. It would be a brave soul who would trust a surgeon trained using wikis, instructional videos and virtual classrooms.
While these might be extreme examples, there is undoubtedly a large market for flexible delivery of university education, and many universities now offer online degree programs. This is true even for the many institutions not traditionally associated with "distance learning".
To complement initial workshops held in Canberra in February, the VET Reform Taskforce will be hosting workshops in each of the other capital cities throughout March 2014.

The inimitable Clarke and Dawe on the growing assault on the ABC
Day after day, The Australian leads the assault, with its editorial pen dipped in vitriol and its reporting none too balanced. It doesn't think much of vice-chancellors and universities either, as shown in this recent editorial (National broadcaster has lost the plot and prestige). Of course The Australian isn't disinterested: references to "spread to thin" and "multiple platforms, across the vast terrestrial plain and in the digital ether" is code for the ABC should get out of its 24 TV news service, which competes head-on with Sky News, of which The Australian's parent (News Australia) is a major shareholder.

As the number of students at Australian universities soars to record levels, is a degree still worth having or is it just a waste of time and money? asks Lucinda Schmidt in The Age .
In October, more than 50,000 Victorian year 12 students will sit their final school exams. More than half will flock to university next March, eager to cast aside the shackles of school and embrace a staggeringly different world of unsupervised study.
For some, their university course is a ticket punch en route to a solid career, while for others it's more about campus life and making new friends. And for some, perhaps, there's that old-fashioned notion of a well-rounded education; learning how to think critically, reason analytically and reflect on personal growth.
Whatever their motivation, the one certain thing in the labyrinthine world of higher education is that a university degree ain't what it used to be. With student numbers escalating – not just in Australia but globally – a bachelor's degree has well and truly lost its elite status.
22 – 23 July 2013 | Melbourne Marriott Hotel
The creation of MOOCs opens up many questions both in the short term future with regard to the viability of the current MOOCs model, as well as in the long term with reference to the democratisation of education and what it means for the future of universities. Such complex and far reaching consequences raise significant questions for Australian universities across a spectrum of issues.
Encouraged by remarks by the Commonwealth minister that he's looking afresh at tertiary "inter-connectedness", five tertiary institutions* are proposing a national network that brings together the strengths of TAFE and higher education traditions, enabling degrees to be studied initially at TAFE institute campuses in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney. Students would be able to study degrees in face-to-face, online or blended modes, with extra support depending on their needs and requirements of the course.….[READ MORE]….

Merlin Crossley (University of New South Wales) tests the proposition that Australia punches above its weight in terms of global research, producing more than we might expect given our small population.
A cracking recent paper from the office of the Chief Scientist Ian Chubb demonstrates that we are behind our main research partners, Europe and America. The citation analysis is convincing and the results argue for urgent policy action.
We have appeared to "punch above our weight" primarily because the developing world – Asia, South America, India, Africa and the former Soviet Republic – currently punches below its weight.
But times are changing and Asia is moving up. Australia is faced with the choice of falling behind or taking steps to keep pace with the growing prosperity in our region.
It is clear the Chief Scientist's office is working hard to make sure our nation makes the right choice.
On 12 March 1913, London-born Governor-General Lord Denman, Scottish-born Labor Prime Minister Andrew Fisher and Canadian-born home affairs minister King O'Malley (a colourful character succeeded in banning alcohol in the ACT until 1928 and who may have been actually born in the US) laid three foundation stones on a dusty hill in the newly established Federal Capital Territory (the hill – Capital Hill – was subsumed by the permanent Parliament House).

The LH Martin Institute is hosting seminars in March, featuring presentations from Professor Debra Bragg from the Office of Community College Research and Leadership from the University of Illinois.
The Australian | 26 October 2012
Australian universities are bloated with superfluous staff that thwart lecturers' ability to teach and suck up funds that would be better spent on research, according to Adam Creighton in the business pages of The Australian.
He says they are riddled with inefficiencies and perverse incentives that hobble their ability to produce rounded, competent graduates.
Creighton cites the recent Ernst and Young report into the future of Australia's universities which showed "absurd administrative burdens" are the norm. Only one of the Australian universities it examined had a ratio of support and administrative staff to academic staff of less than one. With professional service firms in the private sector typically having two or three times as many frontline staff as support staff, Creighton says universities would need to sack about half theirs to what might approach "common sense".
Creighton's case in point is The University of Western Sydney which had a head count of 2487 staff in March this year. The university employed about 1100 staff in the vice-chancellor's office, the corporate strategy and services division and the academic and research division (which undertakes no academic research). Recently retired UWS property economics lecturer Norman Harker estimates that a further quarter of the staff in the teaching faculties were administrative, which implies that university-wide 56% of staff are administrative.
Not all the fault lies with universities.
Their vast bureaucracies service another bureaucracy in Canberra: the federal Department of Education, which insists they produce "profiles" and collect mountains of data to compile "performance indicators".
While he acknowledges that the expansion of publicly funded higher education has proved a powerful engine of social mobility for young Australians, public support for higher education need not require funds to flow directly to the universities.
The federal government could directly subsidise students' tuition fees and leave alone the administration of universities. Competition would soon prompt universities to slash their bureaucratic burdens, freeing up skilled workers to move to industries where they can add vastly more value. That would be a win for everyone: universities, administrators and society.
Controversies seminar: new universities for new times?
The Victoria Institute presents the author of the report on the futre of universities, Justin Bokor from Ernst & Young, together with Professor Peter Dawkins, Vice Chancellor of Victoria University, Professor Jan Thomas, Vice Chancellor of the University of Southern Queensland and Professor Stephen Parker, Vice Chancellor of the University of Canberra.

Alexandre Kojeve
Apropos of nothing here's a link to the Wikipedia entry for Russian-born, French philosopher Alexandre Kojeve. I read Kojeve's lectures on Hegel back in my college days and one of Kojeve's main ideas has always stuck with me: the notion that the constitutive feature of what it means to be human is the desire for recognition.
I think the blogosphere is where this is most obvious. What is the blogosphere if not an ornate economy of recognition? More thoughts on this to follow at some point.

The Southampton Town Planning Board decided this week that it would not weigh in on the merits of a proposal for a large supermarket on County Road 39 in Tuckahoe while the Town Board considers whether to grant developers a change of zone to allow the store—but would implore Town Board members to conduct the most detailed review of the project possible.
Board members said they didn't see any way that the town could grant developer Robert Morrow's change of zone request to allow a shopping center along the busy highway, dubbed Tuckahoe Center, without conducting the exhaustive review guidelines of the State Environmental Quality Review Act.
"We're telling the Town Board not to shoot from the hip," Chairman Dennis Finnerty said. "Make the decision based on planning data. We're going to remain silent as to the merits at this time and encourage the Town Board to move forward with a thorough SEQRA analysis."
Board members did discuss concerns that the zone change proposal would open the town up to accusations of spot zoning, were it to grant the change of zone to allow the 30,000-square-foot supermarket and 15,000 square feet of smaller retail shops, as well as whether the current zoning along County Road 39 should be abandoned or deviated from in various instances.
"I would hate to think the town is embracing the highway business zone," Mr. Finnerty said of the zoning designation along the whole of County Road 39, which allows for larger, low-traffic businesses like appliance and furniture stores and car dealerships. "It's really a relic. It's Long Island strip mall zoning at its worst."
Mr. Finnerty noted that the use of planned development districts—legislative exceptions from area zoning to allow a specific project deemed important to the community—have allowed for some slight changes in the direction of development in highway zones.
But the town's acting planning and development administrator, Freda Eisenberg, said that planners and the members of a committee that conducted a two-year study of the County Road 39 corridor sought to preserve the highway zoning because of the valuable business alternatives it gave the region. "The interest of the study is to maintain the value of the HB zone so you can have uses that are not appropriate in the hamlet centers, and you don't have the high-volume retail uses that you would prefer to have in the downtowns," she said. "It maintains that line."
She did note that the study also identified certain parcels along the highway corridor, like the large Southampton Elks Lodge property, that could be better utilized with the benefit of a PDD should they ever be redeveloped. The Elks property is complicated by the fact that it encompasses two different zoning designations, highway business at its southern end and residential at the northern.
Planning Board member Jacqui Lofaro said she worried that granting the change of zone to allow the supermarket project would open the town to charges of illegal spot-zoning. "The town should look at the legislative intent for the zoning, or they will be exposed to a spot zoning issue," she said. "It's challengeable."
The supermarket proposal on 7 acres on the southern side of the highway, just east of Magee Street, was originally proposed as a PDD, calling for the King Kullen market to be flanked by more than 100,000 square feet of retail, restaurants and apartments. Residents objected, and the application spurred the town to overhaul its PDD process. The application was ultimately withdrawn and resubmitted in a steeply downsized scope as a request for a change of zone. Mr. Morrow has said the plans, which would put a 100-foot grass and tree buffer between the roadway and the stores, are a better direction for the development of a stretch of County Road 39 blighted by crumbling, vacant buildings whose owners have for years been unable to find new businesses to rehabilitate them. Opponents of the project have said it will cause traffic congestion on a critical artery and on residential back roads.
"It would change the way CR 39 develops," board member John Blaney said. "There will be practical aspects—people will be thrilled they only have to drive a mile to the supermarket instead of seven."

Our final post about Colombia focuses on one of our favorite parts of travel: food. In that sphere, Colombia was both a hit and a miss.
Most of the Colombian food that we encountered was fairly mild, lacking in seasoning, and heavy on starches. Grilled or roasted meat was typically served dry, without sauces, and accompanied by plain white rice, boiled or fried potatoes, or fried plantains—sometimes all three. On the Caribbean coast, rice is cooked with toasted coconut, which makes it much tastier. And in some places, deep-fried plantains are filled with cheese and guava paste (an acquired taste).
An exception to the sauceless-meat trend is trucha (rainbow trout), a popular delicacy. In areas near trout streams or trout farms, it's not uncommon to find restaurants that offer trout served 20 different ways (and not much else). The fish is more reddish than trout at home and is generally very good.
Every meal in Colombia comes with at least one arepa—a flat, cardboard-like fried cake made from a type of cornmeal that manages to have much less corn flavor or salt than the masa used to make tortillas in Mexico or Central America. Occasionally, we found big puffy arepas, which we liked better, except that they were almost always slathered with margarine (an abomination).
On one of our last nights in Colombia, we tried an arepa de chocolo, which has nothing to do with chocolate but instead is made from sweet corn and filled with cheese. It was great, and we wished we had discovered it earlier.
Other traditional foods include thick chicken, potato, and corn soups and tamale-like dishes of rice, cornmeal, or cassava meal mixed with meat and root vegetables and steamed in banana leaves to keep them moist. They're all hearty and filling—traditional lunches for hard-working people. If only they included some seasoning.
Fruit is wonderful in Colombia. There are so many varieties available at one time, many of which are turned into fresh juices—lime, orange, papaya, pineapple, watermelon, guanabana (a big spiky green fruit with a mild white flesh), lulo (a small citrusy fruit that Melissa loved), and maracuya (my favorite, passion fruit).
Juice isn't just a breakfast drink. Corner fruit stands serve fresh juices all through the day, mixed with either water or milk. And it's common to see Colombians having a glass of juice with their lunch or dinner—even in upscale restaurants where they're also drinking wine.
Our hosts in Jardin introduced us to a new fruit: granadilla, a yellow-orange egg-shaped fruit with a thing hard shell. Inside, it's filled with a slippery mixture of pulp and seeds that you suck right out of the fruit and swallow, preferably without chewing. It has a mixed sweet and sour flavor that Melissa is very fond of.
And speaking of fruit, fresh avocado is everywhere. In a typical lunch or dinner, it may be the only green thing on the plate.
Hamburgers seem to be very trendy right now in Colombia, with hamburger stands popping up all over the place, and French fries are a mainstay in even upscale restaurants. Despite that, the most common U.S. fast-food chains we saw in Colombia were Subway and Dunkin Donuts rather than hamburger places like McDonald's.
Colombia is a dairy country, but I found the cheese rubbery and lacking in any strong flavor. (I think it suffered by comparison to the diverse and glorious cheeses of Switzerland that we ate so much of last summer). That lack of flavor may be one reason that Colombians often dip chunks of cheese in hot chocolate or in sugar cane juice dissolved in hot water. Yogurt is widely available, but it's very thin (the texture for drinking or pouring on cereal) and very, very sweet.
In fact, super sweetness seems to be a hallmark of many Colombian foods and drinks: sodas, juices, baked goods, yogurt, even breakfast cereal. (The Colombian versions of Special K and Cheerios are sugar-coated, unlike the U.S. versions.)
The ultimate Colombian sweet is arequipe, a thick dulce de leche (caramel) paste. The idea seems to be that every baked good, including donuts, is better oozing with arequipe. Sidewalk stands sell obleas, pairs of large round wafers with arequipe (and sometimes chocolate or blackberry jam) inside, for a Colombian version of a Dutch stroopwafel. They taste a bit like styrofoam on the outside, but they're delicious in the middle.
Colombia is also full of bakeries featuring various puffy bread rolls made from wheat or cassava flour that local people adore, but that we couldn't get excited about. Melissa's and my taste in breads and other baked goods tends firmly toward the northern European (French pastries and dense German bread), so we just weren't in the right country for bread products. But the fresh fruit on every corner and fruit juices at every meal more than made up for that.

Event description
The UNSTITCHED panel discussion is presented in partnership with Timeless Textiles Gallery and Hunter Living Histories and in conjunction with the exhibition STITCHED UP at The Lock-Up.
Between 1867 and 1871, one hundred and ninety-three girls aged from two and a half to 18 years attended the Newcastle Industrial School. These girls came from backgrounds of poverty, cruelty and discrimination endemic in immigrant and marginalised communities.
UNSTITICHED will discuss findings unearthed by the research of Jane Ison, Dr David Eastburn and Bernadette Sheahan and give greater depth to this fascinating piece of Newcastle's history. This discussion will look at the the artistic responses to the lives of its 193 inmates in the exhibition STITCHED UP.
Dr Ann Hardy is Historian, Hunter Living Histories Co-ordinator at the University of Newcastle's Cultural Collections GLAMx Lab. She has a strong commitment to historical and archival research of the Hunter region, collaborating with communities and cultural groups to develop new knowledge. Her key research areas are Newcastle's 'Coal River', Australian 'asylums', health and welfare history, and has an interest in the association between cultural heritage and well-being.
Wilma Simmons is a mixed media and textile artist who lives in Newcastle and is co-curator of STITCHED UP. Simmon's art is inspired by special people, interesting places, her Asian heritage and multicultural literature.
Dr David Eastburn has worked closely with rural communities in Australia and Papua New Guinea for almost five decades. His current work involves cooperatively identifying under-recognised local natural, cultural, social and individual human assets and utilising/celebrating them to assist rural communities to realize their capacities for more resilient futures.
Jane Ison began investigating her family's ancestry and found that an ancestor, Margaret Poole had been baptised at Christ Church Cathedral and had also attended The Newcastle Industrial School. This chance discovery was the catalyst for Ison's eight-year investigation into The School which led to a grant from the Royal Australian Historical Society (RAHS) and enabled the creation of a website containing biographies for every Newcastle inmate and details of the records available.

San Jose may be growing up, literally.
The City Council on Tuesday will consider raising current building height limits up to 35 feet higher in downtown and up to 150 feet higher near Diridon Station.
If skyscrapers grow in height, the city estimates a $4.4 billion increase in construction value, which would lead to $5.5 million more in property tax a year.
The city asked passenger and cargo airlines operating out of Mineta San Jose International Airport to weigh in on how raising skyscraper heights would impact flights. Airlines said they expected minimal impacts.
San Jose is also considering creating a fund to help airlines that feel a financial hit from higher development down the road.
