Editorial
Welcome to the August 2024 edition of The Institutional Researcher.
Dear newsletter readers
Spring is approaching in the southern hemisphere, and the weather is warming up. I have taken this opportunity to enjoy some of the many bushwalks around Sydney Harbour during July. One of my most enjoyable is Mosman to Balmoral Beach. Some of the scenery around the harbour is majestic, and unlike the river Seine in Paris (for those who watched the summer Olympics), the water is blue and glistening.
There is a lot happening in the Australian university sector, with ongoing discussions on the international student caps legislation, and the impacts this will have on funding within many of the Australian universities. For those interested, keep an eye on Andrew Norton’s LinkedIn account, where he discusses many of the concerns of the legislation.
We are looking forward to the AAIR Forum coming up from 18–20 November in Adelaide, where many of us will have the opportunity to catch up and discuss many of the relevant issues happening in universities across Australasia. More information about the forum is in this newsletter.
Do you have something you would like to share with your IR colleagues? Please send your contributions to editor@aair.org.au.
