I told the @FinancialReview HE Summit that student experience and choice are being overlooked in the international education policy debate. We can’t dictate where international students want to study, if we do they will choose to study elsewhere. @MonashUni

I told a Senate committee today that enrolment limits on international students could undermine student experience and research. Intl education is a profound contributor to the public good of universities. There are better ways to plan numbers. @MonashUni.
