"There is huge pressure to pass students based on the fees they pay" - this is the real issue at play. I suspect Universities find themselves in a position not too dissimilar to that of printed newspapers when the internet started really taking off.

Newspaper's could see the threat the internet posed to their revenue streams but were blind to (wilfully or not) how they should adapt, adopt and leverage the changing environment.

Univesities need to accept they will not be able to hold back the tide and as you say Hal, adapt accordingly very quickly because the bigger issue at stake is the credibility of the Australian education sector itself.

What's a chatGPT derived Australian University rubber-stamped degree worth? Not much.
