Pros
- Southbank and Mount Gravatt Campuses are nice and are accessible to transport - Gold Coast Campus has a good public transport access to the beach - In some parts of the University, the culture is good
Cons
- too much politics and hubris at the upper levels of management - they don't seemed connected with the actual business of the University. They only care about league tables and their own careers. - too much bureaucracy - feels like an old style public service department - performance management demands are excessive, given that GU is not a top University, and never will be. - no real support for academics teaching students who are "first in family" to attend higher education, and for students who have low ATAR scores and probably should be learning a trade and applying their skills elsewhere. - no proper ongoing review of program content (Medicine, Dentistry, Allied Health (except Social Work), Architecture, Accountancy excluded) which impacts upon what is taught to real students. - too many academic managers trying to keep their jobs and bullying staff. - terrible public transport to Nathan and Logan Campuses.
