In fairness to UC, they sacked staff and introduced paid parking when the former Govt announced higher education funding cuts to fund Gonski.

Now those cuts have been blocked by the Senate, they’re swimming in cash!

What, you thought they might actually do something to help their students did you? Pfffft.
