A study of the funding of tertiary education in Australia 1974-1980Higgins, Janette Lesley, n/a January 1980 (has links)
In 1974 the Federal Government abolished tuition fees for all
government institutions and took over full funding responsibility
for universities and colleges of advanced education from the
States. This study investigates the process of funding tertiary
institutions and the somewhat different position and importance
in the funding process of technical and further education
colleges compared with universities and colleges of advanced
education is clarified and explained.
The influence of the changing economic circumstances of the
late nineteen seventies upon the level and method of funding
is considered. The role of the Tertiary Education Commission
as a major influence within the funding process and its role
in decisionmaking is outlined and its power acknowledged.
The Federal Government attitude to the level and pattern of
funding tertiary education has altered significantly since
1974. To illustrate the extent and nature of changed
government priorities,trends in funding and the implications
of such trends are examined and analysed. From this data
emerging problems as universities and colleges of advanced
education face the difficulties of expenditure restraint
are identified. It is noted that not all the effects of
restraint have negative consequences, in fact there may be
some positive benefits to be derived.
The field study investigates the currently increasing demands
for our tertiary institutions to be more accountable for the
public funds they spend. Questions associated with the demand
for accountability- the difficulty of defining what is meant
by accountability; accountability for what, to whom, when,
how and why in relation to the funding of tertiary education
are discussed, associated problems and possible solutions
highlighted.
Finally, some reflections upon the process of funding tertiary
education are expounded and conclusions are drawn from the
investigation undertaken and data presented.

The Association of Libarians in colleges of advanced education and the committee of Australian university librarians: The evolution of two higher education library groups, 1958-1997Oakshott, Stephen Craig, School of Information, Library & Archives Studies, UNSW January 1998 (has links)
This thesis examines the history of Commonwealth Government higher education policy in Australia between 1958 and 1997 and its impact on the development of two groups of academic librarians: the Association of Librarians in Colleges in Advanced Education (ALCAE) and the Committee of Australian University Librarians (CAUL). Although university librarians had met occasionally since the late 1920s, it was only in 1965 that a more formal organisation, known as CAUL, was established to facilitate the exchange of ideas and information. ALCAE was set up in 1969 and played an important role helping develop a special concept of library service peculiar to the newly formed College of Advanced Education (CAE) sector. As well as examining the impact of Commonwealth Government higher education policy on ALCAE and CAUL, the thesis also explores the influence of other factors on these two groups, including the range of personalities that comprised them, and their relationship with their parent institutions and with other professional groups and organisations. The study focuses on how higher education policy and these other external and internal factors shaped the functions, aspirations, and internal dynamics of these two groups and how this resulted in each group evolving differently. The author argues that, because of the greater attention given to the special educational role of libraries in the CAE curriculum, the group of college librarians had the opportunity to participate in, and have some influence on, Commonwealth Government statutory bodies responsible for the coordination of policy and the distribution of funding for the CAE sector. The link between ALCAE and formal policy-making processes resulted in a more dynamic group than CAUL, with the university librarians being discouraged by their Vice-Chancellors from having contact with university funding bodies because of the desire of the universities to maintain a greater level of control over their affairs and resist interference from government. The circumstances of each group underwent a reversal over time as ALCAE's effectiveness began to diminish as a result of changes to the CAE sector and as member interest was transferred to other groups and organisations. Conversely, CAUL gradually became a more active group during the 1980s and early 1990s as a result of changes to higher education, the efforts of some university librarians, and changes in membership. This study is based principally on primary source material, with the story of ALCAE and CAUL being told through the use of a combination of original documentation (including minutes of meetings and correspondence) and interviews with members of each group and other key figures.
