I am happy to report that my alma mater the University of New England is experiencing
unprecedented growth in student enrolments, and is currently one of the fastest
growing universities in Australia. Since 2011 it has managed to increase its internal
student enrolments by 20 per cent and external student enrolments by nearly 24
per cent.
Vice-Chancellor Jim Barber attributes the success in part to
UNE’s reinvigorated online course offerings and a focus on increasing the
University’s online market share. The success in the online market helps the
university to reinvest in its on-campus offerings to its internal students.
To those of us who watched with dismay the University’s
near-death experience in the 1990s resulting from amalgamation and disamalgamation,
the latest news is good news indeed.
