Public funding for some degrees questioned

Findings presented at a one-day seminar on higher education base funding make the case that it is hard to justify public tuition subsidies across all university courses. The Centre for the Study of Higher Education at the University of Melbourne hosted a national seminar on today (Monday) to further discuss the report of the Base Funding Review (BFR) chaired by former South Australian minister for education, Jane Lomax-Smith. The review was made public last December.
