Those figures are appalling. I couldn't agree more, UTAS should lift
their game, learn how to run a university properly, provide appropriate
courses and improve the retention rate instead of wasting time and money
moving to a new campus.

View on Facebook [8] And another comment on the dropout rate of first year students after the
semester census date. Wonder the dropout rate is if ALL the first year
enrolments were included. And what might it be for second and third year
students? ...............

Comment [8] .... What Speak Up Launceston is Saying CLICK HERE
The UTAS response to having the highest first year attrition rates in Australia is a mix of conceit and deceit.
ReplyDeleteTo suggest that drop outs are a by-product of a noble ‘social mission’ aimed at those of lower socio-economic backgrounds is a cruel deceit.
The shift to on-line and other delivery is aimed simply at staff reduction and cost containment and nothing more noble than that.
This feature is pronounced in the north and northwest where staff reductions have led to plummeting enrolments.
Worse, the grand assurances that no degree courses will be cut in the north is entirely based on the provision of on-line, video-link and other delivery platforms – not staff.
The fact is that for programs aimed at social disadvantage to succeed personal delivery and pastoral concern is essential. Real teachers; real learning.
The promised grand expansion plans in the north stand alongside the stark reality of staff reductions. The conceit and deceit of these plans has been revealed by the Grattan Institute report.
