The real reason for this security mess up?
In a attempt to keep its only positive marketing statistic, the “Median Graduate Salary” statistic which indicates what graduates are earning when they graduate, the prestigious Bowman’s Budget Visa Factory, hires its own graduates in droves. i repeat, in droves.
Those graduates will be earning $65000+ instead of the $45000 working at a servo, or as waiter or as a checkout chick or as a dish pig, where they actually belong. As they earn more, this artificially inflates the “Median Graduate Salary” !
So congratulations, now the Uni is administered by people who have worthless degrees, working in jobs they are not interested in. The security issues reported in this article is a small example of the Charles Darwin Uni Experience.
Now, any local business will ask “Are they crazy hiring their own Graduates?” Well if Bowman’s Budget Visa Factory does not hang on to its One and Only positive marketing news, it will rank as the lowest ranked Uni in Australia. So currently it ranks 51 of the 52 Australian Universities, slightly above Federation University. It would plummet to 52 if they stop hiring their own graduates in droves!
*This ranking is taken from the long time staff members at CDU, who are keenly intimate with the daily shenanigan’s.
Just remember, when you at Woolworths or Coles, the checkout chick has a Bachelor of Accounting from CDU, the trolley collector has Masters in IT from CDU. When at a big box retailer like Good Guys, the guy selling you the washing machine has a Masters in Accounting from CDU. The Security Guards have Bachelor of Tourism Studies.
The NT News, yesterday, published the Top 10 Year 12 Students with the highest ATAR scores.
I can safely say, not one of them will set foot in Bowman’s Budget Visa Factory that is staffed by foreign lecturers who teach foreign students a very very dumbed down curriculum so they can pass. In the unlikely event the international students fail those classes, they “magically pass” and get to take their incompetence to the next year!
Those Visa Applicants, i mean students, are too busy working two jobs to attend class anyhow.
Like a Good Tax Payer Funded Organization, they released the bad information after the CDU Media team went on holidays
and definitely when the Vice Chancellor, Scott Bowman, who had no issue firing people for incompetence, is safely on holidays on a cruise ship in the Pacific somewhere.
