‘Risky policy’: South Australia pursues possible university mergerThe South Australian government is pursuing a possible university merger between two of the state's three best institutions as it aims to re-enter the Top 100 rankings. Premier Peter Malinauskas is pushing ahead his election commitment for a University Merger Commission to 'determine the path toward a successful merger' between two of the state's top three universities – Adelaide and UniSA.
