The article is long enough and new enough. I assume good faith on the references that I can't access. The hook is directly cited. A QPQ has been completed. SL93 (talk) 22:24, 12 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Neat article. Good ya made the front page, and over 3,100 readers that day, not shabby. A Finnish lingo-psychologist running unis in rural Aus and Ireland, wow. 95.161.235.229 (talk) 10:48, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Murdoch University

You need to get this straighter. The harsh reality of 2020-2021 led to:

- “the federal higher education regulator put the institution on a short leash for failing to prove it could sufficiently manage deficiencies in quality and performance.
- “given only a four-year reregistration period instead of the usual seven after the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency identified university governance as problematic”
and also on Leinonen’s watch:
- The university subsequently unsuccessfully sued one of the whistleblowers, Gerd Schroeder-Turk, claiming lost revenue from a fall in international student enrolments”.
This is not a good picture. 91.193.178.38 (talk) 12:47, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
