Neither side of politics shares Menzies' vision for higher education

Instead of Labor and the Coalition blaming international students for housing shortages, they should reimagine our universities as engines of progress.

The article from the Australian Financial Review discusses the current state of higher education in Australia, lamenting the loss of Sir Robert Menzies' vision for universities as places of intellectual freedom and critical thinking. It critiques both the Labor and Liberal parties for their policies that have led to what the author perceives as a decline in educational standards and autonomy. The piece highlights how universities have become overly commercialized, focusing on vocational training rather than fostering a broad, liberal education. It points out that government funding cuts, increased bureaucratic control, and a shift towards market-driven education have eroded the traditional university ethos. The author argues that neither political side has upheld Menzies' ideals, with universities now often seen as mere service providers rather than institutions for intellectual development. The article calls for a return to policies that support academic freedom, reduce administrative burdens, and encourage a more holistic educational approach.
