Maybe it's just my selective attention, but I've been noticing more discussion in the media recently about the need for balance in universities.
In this article in The Age today, Morag Fraser argues that "our universities care more about how they fare in research rankings than they do about the quality of the education their students receive. What's more, the government's funding arrangements encourage this. The bulk of the dollars follow performance in research."
What do you think? Is it time to tip the scales in favour of teaching quality?
