What do you do if the goods you just purchased fall far short of the claim made for them ? You raise hell with the department of consumer affairs - and you expect to either get a refund or the goods replaced.
Students studying music c0mposition at the University of Wollongong will not be so lucky ! Their course has been downgraded and instead of high quality teachers providing excellence what remains of the course will be taught by casual staff. The ranking achieved will therefore have lesser significance in the music world as a result.
These unfortunate people will end the course owing a substantial sum in HECS - and yet what they are achieving at the end of the course is far less than what was promised when the course began.
Surely if the goal posts are moved - the HECS need to move with them !
If the course is downgraded, then those students should have the same right to go to consumer affairs and petition to have the money owing by way of HECS to suffer a similar fate.
Otherwise - it is a clear case of double standards !
