The submission advances a five-year National Institute Grant, argues for reforms to the universities funding model, and emphasizes place-based accountability. It also outlines system improvements across demand-driven places, tertiary enabling pathways, equity supports, staffing attraction, student success funding, placement funding urgency, and quality indicators, alongside First Nations knowledge integration.","Charles Darwin University  \nSubmission to the Australian Universities Accord Discussion Paper  \nApril 2023  \nTable of Contents  \nDelivering on our role as Australia’s most connected university 3  \nSummary of Recommendations 3  \nPart I: 5  \nA place-centred university 5  \nCDU’s role in delivering on national interests 6  \nOperating in thin and ultra-thin markets 6  \nA New National Institute Grant 8  \nPart II: 9  \nResponding to the Australian Universities Accord Discussion Paper: opportunities for Australia’s higher education sector 9  \nAchieving success for all students 9  \nDesigning future-focused quality education 14  \nInternational education 15  \nBetter connecting skills and higher education 16  \nEmbedding First Nations knowledge in future research for the Territory 19  \nSustainable and impactful research 21  \nConclusion 24  \nPage 2 of 24  \nDelivering on our role as Australia’s most connected university  \nCharles Darwin University’s (CDU) vision is to be Australia’s most connected university by being courageous and making a difference in the Northern Territory (NT), Australia and beyond. CDU is in an unparalleled position to embrace the vitality and resilience of the NT and contribute to the future prosperity of Northern Australia.  \nThis submission proposes a new approach to funding for CDU through the Universities Accord so that future generations of Territorians continue to have access to world-class training and higher education.  \nCDU is positioned to make a significant contribution to some of the nation’s biggest challenges: shoringup energy and water security in the face of climate change; acknowledging our geopolitical environment to protect our national interests; and developing sustainable economic growth in Northern Australia, particularly for First Nations peoples.  \nCase studies throughout this submission demonstrate that innovative research for Northern Australia is much more impactful when underpinned by First Nations knowledges appropriately interweaved ‘with’Western knowledges.  \nPart I outlines a case for a five-year National Institute Grant for CDU to deliver better outcomes for the NT, its people and for Australia’s national interests. It outlines that delivering high-quality training, education and research is contingent on addressing the flaws of the current universities’ funding model. Part II addresses the remaining opportunities to improve systems that underpin all Australian Universities.  \nSummary of Recommendations  \n\n| Recommendations |\n| --- |\n| Part I addresses CDU’s role in the NT and recommends that:\u003Cbr>1. The Accord recognise the role of CDU as a place-based university in providing equitable access to higher education and research, professional employment for regional communities and a backbone of community infrastructure.\u003Cbr>2. A five-year National Institute Grant to support Australia’s interests in the North is provided to CDU to underwrite research and education, along with training and economic development for the NT’s regions.\u003Cbr>3. A renewed compact system or individual Accord, be developed to ensure CDU is held accountable to its place-based mission in the NT under a National Institute Grant.\u003Cbr>Part II responds to the Discussion Paper, and CDU recommends that:\u003Cbr>4. The Accord reintroduce demand-driven places, with first uncapping places for all First Nations students not just those in regional and remote areas and then for all students in regional and remote areas.\u003Cbr>5. The Accord notes the critical importance of improving school education outcomes to student success in tertiary settings.\u003Cbr>6. The Tertiary Enabling Program be reformed to:\u003Cbr>a) restore the prominence of enabling in the tertiary landscape;\u003Cbr>b) align with the AQF so that it can be used for a ‘one tertiary’ entrance;\u003Cbr>c) have its own specific funding cluster to allow flexibility of course design; and\u003Cbr>d) include a low student contribution that can be placed on HECS-HELP. |\n\nPage 3 of 24  \n7.
