The Howard Government’s move to introduce voluntary student unionism will destroy a range of essential services for university students at the Australian National University and University of Canberra.
 |
Subsidised on campus childcare will no longer exist. |
|
The high class sport and recreation centres at both ANU and UC will be left flounder. |
|
The medical and counselling centres at both campuses will cease to exist. |
|
Cultural clubs will fade into non-existence |
|
Student will be left to fend for themselves with diminished support services. |
This is clear payback to students for daring to criticise the Howard Government’s massive HECS hikes.
Student organisations are a vital part of campus life at ANU and UC and fees go to supporting a range of vital services to help students complete their degrees.
The ACT’s universities don’t have the money to pay for these services after $190 million of Howard Government funding cuts in the ACT.
This is another step by the Howard Government towards universities only being accessible by the wealthy.
