Episode Job (Un)Ready
Is a policy that students, staff and vice-chancellors all agree has failed still standing because no one in government wants to spend the political capital to fix it? Can universities rebuild trust and student voice after a string of governance crises, from the ICAC probe into the University of Wollongong and parliamentary inquiries? What does it say about the state of higher education when the queue for the student food pantry is more competitive than the queue for an expensive degree?
National Union of Students President Felix Hughes and ANU Students' Association President Charley Ellwood join Democracy Sausage to unpack the fallout from the Job-Ready Graduates scheme, the mounting weight of student debt, and governance in the university sector.
