What is it with The Australian? Why do they keep missing university funding scandals??
Some years ago, they went into complete histrionics over $100,000 given to Griffith University in Brisbane by Saudi Arabia. There were cries of bias and sinister plots of Saudi and Wahhabi ideology being spread by stealth.
(It didn't last long after it was pointed out that the Saudis had invested even more money in News Limited.)
With such a commitment to higher education, why would The Oz miss two scandals concerning one of our most prestigious universities?
First there was the scandal over China Studies. And now there is the scandal over allegations against the United States Studies Centre.
