<p>&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Australian Universities: A conversation about public good&lt;/i&gt; highlights contemporary challenges facing Australian universities and offers new ideas for expanding public good.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;More than 20 experts take up the debate about our public universities: who they are for; what their mission is (or should be); what strong higher education policy entails; and how to cultivate a robust and constructive relationship between government and Australian universities. Issues covered include:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;- How to change a culture of exclusion to ensure all are welcome in universities especially Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students as well as those from low socio-economic backgrounds.&lt;br&gt;- How educational disadvantage in Australia often begins in school and is still the major barrier to full university participation.&lt;br&gt;- The reality that funding for research and major infrastructure requires significant additional funds from non-government sources (e.g. international student fees).&lt;br&gt;- A lack of policy recognition that international university students increase Australia's social cultural and economic capital.&lt;br&gt; - Pathways to making policy decisions wide-ranging consultative inclusive and inspired rather than politically partisan and ideologically driven.&lt;br&gt; - The impact of COVID-19 on universities and particularly how the pandemic and governmental responses exacerbated extant and emerging issues.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Australian Universities&lt;/i&gt; rekindles a much-needed conversation about the vital role of public universities in our society arguing for initiatives informed by the realities of university life and offering a way forward for government communities students and public universities - together - to advance public good. &lt;/p&gt;</p>
