Early thoughts on the Final Report of the Universities Accord Panel.
Not in the short term, and maybe not at all. John Dewar explains why universities may be disappointed if they were expecting the Accord to fix their financial problems. https://t.co/sq9XECaM0k

This is a very big deal for Victoria, Melbourne and La Trobe Uni!
In an agreement facilitated by @VicGovAu, La Trobe will soon be home to a clinical-scale mRNA manufacturing facility at our Melbourne Campus. Commissioned by @BioNTech_Group, it will support researchers to advance treatments for serious diseases, such as cancer.

Not content with making up an Australian University ranking based on an undisclosed methodology, the Fin Review is now seeking to monetise this by selling marketing kits to universities at $2,975 each so that they can 'celebrate their success'. I hope no University falls for this

With women's sport receiving the attention it deserves, it's good to know that there's a university that has been taking it seriously for a long time- @latrobe aiming to close the injury gap between men and women and level another playing field.

I'm very proud to be part of a senior team @latrobe that is educating itself on LGBTIQA+ inclusion. Universities can be unwelcoming places for our most marginalised and vulnerable. We will change that with the help of our wonderful colleagues from @LTU_Sex_Health
