	Group of Eight (Australian universities) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Group of Eight (Go8) is a lobby group for the tertiary institutions generally considered to be the most prestigious and research-intensive universities in Australia.
		All members of the group except ANU, UNSW and Monash are known as "sandstone universities", and all of their primary campuses are based within an Australian capital city.
		The group, in arguing for prioritisation of research funding and in lobbying for increased funding for their campuses, sometimes finds itself at odds with smaller, regional and rural universities.

		The Group of Eight leading universities has outlined reservations about key elements of the package in a submission to the Senate inquiry into the higher education changes.
		While the universities confirmed their support for the proposal to allow increases in HECS fees of up to 30 per cent, the group said that students' inability to pay should not exclude them from studying.
		Group of Eight executive director Virginia Walsh said an added concern was that, without an amendment to the Social Security Act, students on scholarships would have their income support payments cut.

	Academic Freedom and Commercialisation of Australian Universities: Perceptions and experiences of social scientists The ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		As Australian social scientists’ experience has not previously been explored, this study focused particularly on their experience of academic freedom in an environment of commercialisation.
		In the interviews, respondents generally thought that the situation in universities would become unacceptable if commercialisation directly affected their freedom to teach, research and publish without fear of censorship and their right to associate with research colleagues of their choosing.
		The consistency of reasons given for systemic concern across the range of disciplines or subject areas and universities (where one would not expect close communication) suggests that some of these issues may be endemic and, at the least, require further investigation.
