In recent months, this yearning for difference has become a political consensus. In the long run, financial dominance by the Commonwealth would impose uniformity on institutions on both sides of the binary divide. In the past twelve months, two of these three have succumbed to the logic of the funding system and will merge with larger institutions. Instead of the Commonwealth determining in advance the load for each university, and punishing those above or below their targets, universities should be able to negotiate changes in load in response to varying demand. Instead of this I now find myself vice-chancellor of a university that is disappointingly like the University of Melbourne. Institutions originally determined not to teach professional courses soon found themselves offering degrees in medicine, business, law and engineering. Interdisciplinarity became a residual aspiration rather than a thoroughgoing point of difference. It could also invest more heavily in student support, to ensure that Youth Allowance, travel concessions and other benefits are available to students struggling to stay afloat financially while undertaking full-time study. It is rare in Australia for a literary biographer, even one of distinction, to write at book length about her intellectual formation and biographical pursuits. It is the only insistent moment in the book. It was located well away from the city centre, in what Premier Don Dunstan unkindly described as a suburban paddock . It s an oblique, shadowy piece, an offbeat portrait framed within a telling that s imbued with at least some of the delirium of its protagonist. Like its coalition predecessors, the Labor government was concerned to expand access to higher education, and did so by expanding further the role of Canberra. Meantime, Elisabeth Holdsworth s essay, published in the February issue, is still available from our office. Micro-management from Canberra is the enemy of variety. Most lived at home with their parents, their background overwhelmingly middle class. Niall recalls this formative house in powerful, even reverent detail. Niall s time at ANU led to a tutorship at an even newer university, Monash. No God Professors reigning over departments a participatory system of government would prevail, during which decisions were taken, as David Hilliard s book on Flinders recounts, often at wearisome length . At a 1965 seminar on the future of higher education, the first vice-chancellor of Monash, J.A.L. At a 1965 seminar on the future of higher education, the first vice-chancellor of Monash, J.A.L. Before the late 1940s, each state had just one university. Better still, Niall knew him as a child. But this latest reform remains unfinished business a private sector is allowed scope to compete, but public institutions remain bound and constrained. Canberra would decide how many Commonwealth-supported students could be enrolled at each university and what disciplines they were to study. Dawkins announced that the Commonwealth would only support institutions with a minimum of 2000 full-time students. During 2006 Minister Bishop has allowed institutions to begin this process, while Labor has proposed a formal mechanism, a negotiated compact between Canberra and each university, acknowledging different roles, missions and circumstances.
