University Finances - Order for production of documents on university finances

On 18 September 2002 the Senate referred an inquiry into the financial state of universities to the Senate Employment, Workplace Relations and Education References Committee. The committee is to report on
15 October 2003.

The inquiry results from the refusal of the government to hand over documents demanded in the Senate relating to the financial state of universities. The committee calls for evidence from higher education institutions and associations, from government agencies and from persons with relevant expertise in university financing.
