Subscriber only Universities are bending the rules to admit school leavers who bombed out in this year s COVID-19 study chaos. Teenagers who missed out on studying their dream degree due to a low ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank) are being urged to take a short bridging course or apply directly for entry. One university is admitting students based on teacher recommendations, rather than ATAR scores, this year. Others are counting community service and work experience towards university entry. Students who copped health or financial curveballs in 2020 can also apply for special entry on equity grounds.
This book explains how recognition theory contributes to non-colonial and enduring political relationships between Indigenous nations and the state. It refers to Indigenous Australian arguments for a Voice to Parliament and treaties to show what recognition may mean for practical politics and policy-making. It considers critiques of recognition theory by Canadian First Nationsâ scholars who make strong arguments for its assimilationist effect, but shows that ultimately, recognition is a theory and practice of transformative potential, requiring fundamentally different ways of thinking about citizenship and sovereignty.
This book draws extensively on New Zealandâs Treaty of Waitangi and measures to support Maori political participation, to show what treaties and a Voice to Parliament could mean in practical terms. It responds to liberal democratic objections to show how institutionalised means of indigenous participation may, in fact, make democracy work better.
Students looking to enrol in nursing and health degrees at Charles Sturt University next year are set to benefit from a $100,000 donation to the new Taree Universities Campus.
HealthCare Australia is the first corporate sponsor for the new facility and the money will support those enrolling in Bachelor of Nursing and Allied Health courses.
The funding will help students with placements, tutoring and training in the Manning Valley.
The Taree campus officially opened last week – and is taking enrolments for 2021.
