New economic modelling suggests universities are facing a funding shortfall of more than $1 billion under the federal government’s crackdown.
Australian universities are bracing for a $1.1 billion revenue black hole next year with 63,500 fewer international students expected under the government’s plan to slash foreign enrolments.
, Sydney University said the modelling was conservative as they represented the impact on the economy in 2025 alone. Sydney University – which made more than any other institution in the country from foreign fees last year – said international students cross-subsidised its teaching of domestic students where costs exceed government funding.
Regional Universities Network, which represents seven institutions, said regionally delivered courses should be exempt from total enrolment limits and automatic cancellation penalties for exceeding caps.
