The Group of Eight universities have disputed the validity of Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) research which suggests that graduates of less prestigious universities have better salary outcomes. Ironically, the research was carried out by an organisation that is affiliated with the Group of Eight’s Melbourne University. Such a situation would not arise in government or big business, where such adverse findings would most likely be quashed. The HILDA research also highlights the need for universities to be properly funded and managed.
