"We are a relatively young university but I think AUQA do have a point we do need more professors, we do need to be doing more research, so I'm quite happy with that recommendation and it actually fits in where we're going anyway."

"Yeh look what AUQA did was actually affirmed the action we're taking on attrition. Yes we know that we do have students that are leaving the University, I think part of that is external factors. We live in a region that is undergoing a massive economic boom and the call of well-paid jobs is very strong for our students."

"Oh look overall AUQA is very good news for us because what it said, its number one commendation for the University was its supported the direction that the University was going in, ah, it said that we had buy-in from our staff and buy-in from the community, so this is great news for us, this external body has said that we are going exactly where we should be going."
