Pyne accused of sidelining students

STUDENTS are concerned the federal government is sidelining them from discussions about higher education.

THEY are upset the government has stopped involving them in advisory bodies, including one that rewards outstanding university teaching.

The Council of Australian Postgraduate Associations (CAPA) says its traditional involvement in the Office of Teaching and Learning awards, and another advisory committee, was ended this year with no explanation.The National Union of Students has also found itself no longer welcome.CAPA president Meghan Hopper says she was told the government is reviewing positions on the awards panel.The other committee student representatives were involved in was replaced with a new body they were not asked to join.Ms Hopper says it seems Education Minister Christopher Pyne did not want to hear from students in any format."He keeps arguing that students shouldn't be protesting the higher education budget cuts but then he won't give us any other method of communicating with him," she said.Mr Pyne has been contacted for comment.
