Reviewing TEQSA’s Legislative Powers
“The higher education landscape has changed significantly since TEQSA was created and will continue to in the coming decades,” Universities Australia Chief Executive Officer Luke Sheehy said.
“It’s sensible to review the existing powers, and modernise them as appropriate, to ensure TEQSA can respond to the challenges and opportunities of a rapidly evolving higher education sector.
“We welcome the Government’s intention to consult on how TEQSA’s powers can better support students and ensure universities are delivering for their communities and in the national interest.
“What’s important is that regulatory change brings real improvements and doesn’t add to the growing thicket of regulation weighing down universities.
“We look forward to engaging with the Government’s consultation process in the coming weeks.”
