ABC 20

Four Corners Campus Chaos

8:32PM - 9:20PM

Australian universities are in turmoil.
Deep cuts to jobs and courses are triggering fury on campuses.
Years of shrinking public funding and rising debt pushed some to breaking point.

No medium term purpose for universities.
Mass human unemployed, due to robots and ai. What's the point of training up for non existent work ?

Ai agents could educate humans when universities implode ... that's if we are still around.

Student accomodation real estate, it will be an early part of that sectors to collapse.
Don't understand why people are putting so much of their future planning into real estate. Head in the sand thinking.

I can't really follow tonight's 4 Corners.

I need some actual examples of what they are referring to. :-/

Universities won't take accountability for their actions. And they are so up themselves with the ultra left-wing rubbish, no one can take them seriously.

CQU Rockhampton must be an exception. I did a review of the local campus. So many people were saying that lessons were poorly planned and resources half-finished. It was a decent university.
