ANU responds to Universities Accord Final Report

ANU Vice-Chancellor Professor Genevieve Bell provides an update to the University community on the release of the Universities Accord Final Report. The Universities Accord Final Report was released on Sunday 25 February 2024. The report contains 47 recommendations which we will review and consider in context as the national university. The Report makes it fundamentally clear the vital role university research and education play in driving the prosperity and wellbeing of Australia - and we look forward to discussing the recommendations and providing a more fulsome response in the coming weeks. University research and teaching have the power to transform lives, communities, the economy and society for the better. This is a mission that has defined The Australian National University (ANU) since its formation in 1946 and one we are deeply committed to fulfilling for all'Australians for decades to come. The recommendations in the report represent some of the largest and boldest potential reforms to Australia's higher education sector.
