- JSA engagement profile

(Which make me think I have a non-trivial proportion of a major govt agency engagement in terms of followers/mentions etc)

- interesting segmentation of skills gaps

Make that 10,819 JSA mentions

My question on governance got more upvotes - but may still not get over the line

Am personally a little disappointed with the narrative coming from the panel - highlights a disconnect from governing bodies and fundamental academic values that should permeate university governance

A long way shy of top upvoted question …. Interesting that 95% of questions are anonymous ….. opportunity lost in terms of building visibility and profile

Panel discussion informed by Slido questions and upvoting

My amazing question stuck at bottom or lost - but good on TEQSA for trying to utilise routine teaching tools in conference operations

Nice to go for a run with the dogs and see the smiles on peoples faces when they see what one was happily carrying in his mouth

My family doing their bit to help others back in 1992 - my career has basically been a continuation of this parental example

Am reading the Accord Report by jumping from
section to section rather than start to finish - purpose, regulation, financing, equity - congrats to the panel - it is very good

Really moved to see this recommendation - subtle shift from needs based support $$$ to needs based teaching $$$

Sadly, couldn’t get a ticket to see Taylor Swift, but did do 10km listening to Folklore this morning, followed up with some bracelet making for the person from whom I did manage to get a ticket

I wouldn’t consider myself an angler, but a family member considers me to be a lucky charm/fish whisperer

Yesterday we hooked 6 magnificent Malun (Taungurung) / Murray (English)

All catch and release and wonderful to be on country

Day One in Paris … so far

A nice place to be for a flaneur at heart

Notes/observations from Mary O'Kane's remarks at TEQSA conference

I see disruption coming from policy favouring uber-scale institutions - blending online delivery with local study hubs. May lead to difficult choices for unis if cross subsidies from teaching and learning income are harder to come by
