Another Vice-Chancellor has attacked the deregulation of university fees from an economic perspective. Ross Milbourne, vice-chancellor of the University of Technology, Sydney has, described Mr Pyne’s comments as “bullshit”. “That’s bullshit. The rate of return you get from funding a university student for their education is more than paid back through their increased salaries and the tax system when they start working,” Professor Milbourne said. “That rate of return is way above the rate of return on any other investment the government can make and instead of getting bunches of flowers and boxes of chocolates from the current students it’s the taxpayers who should be thanking the students for doing the hard work for undertaking the study they’re doing so that can protect Australia’s international competitiveness.”
