This book examines twenty-five years of the Australian framework
for student equity in higher education, A Fair Chance for All.
Divided into two sections, the book reflects on the legacy of
equity policy in higher education, the effectiveness of current
approaches, and the likely challenges facing future policymakers.
The first section explores the creation of the framework, including
the major elements of the policy, the political context of its
development, and how it compares with international models
developed during the same period. The performance of the six
student equity groups identified within the framework is also
examined. The second section of the book considers future trends
and challenges. The Australian university sector has undergone
seismic change in the past twenty-five years and faces further
changes of equal magnitude. The twenty-fifth anniversary of A Fair
Chance for All comes as Australian higher education is poised for
another wave of transformation, with rising expansion, competition,
and stratification. While the emerging landscape is new, the
questions have changed little since A Fair Chance for All was first
conceived: How should we define student equity, and what policies
are likely to promote it?

This study examines the interaction between universities and other
sectors of society, with an emphasis on the local and civic aspects
of that interaction. The changes wrought by the knowledge economy
have challenged the boundaries between higher education and other
fields. As higher education has become less sheltered from external
influences, the interactions between universities and other
organisations have moved from the periphery to the centre of higher
education. The aim of the research was to investigate universities'
external relations: to whom they connect, how the connections are
formed, and what results from those connections. The study's
findings suggest that each university's external relations need to
be understood in their local and civic context, that national
policy is still important and not reducible to the global and
economic. There is significant interplay between the global,
national and local levels, and between the dynamics of different
fields. Universities both shape and are shaped by their
environments. A university's autonomy can be both enhanced and
diminished by external interactions.
