Once again students have been treated as an afterthought by the federal government, with both universities and students being squeezed for all that they've got. The government has announced cuts of $900 million dollars in university funding through the introduction of a 2-year 'efficiency dividend'. At the same time, students will now be required to repay government scholarships; this means up to 37% more debt and more than a decade of student loan repayments once they finish their studies. 2pm. State Library, cnr La Trobe & Swanston sts, City. March to Federation Square. Organised by National Union of Students and NTEU as part of National Day of Action.
