Why are Australia's publicly funded universities some of the least accountable institutions in the country? What went wrong at the University of Wollongong, and what does it reveal about who really runs our universities? Has rudeness in public life been mistaken for authenticity?
On this episode of Democracy Sausage, NSW Labor MLC Dr Sarah Kaine joins Professor Mark Kenny and Dr Marija Taflaga to discuss her parliamentary inquiry into university governance, the loss of universities' public mission and social licence, and the growing abuse directed at politicians in the wake of the attack on Dr Helen Haines.
