A spokesman for James Cook University has advised that the north Queensland higher education institution is not proposing a change to its name. However, JCU’s governing council has endorsed a report produced by an internal committee which concluded that Captain James Cook’s legacy is "complex", and that for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people his discovery of Australia’s east coast in 1770 was the beginning of colonisation. The report also estimated that changing the university’s name would cost between $4.8m and $12m and risk a backlash from donors. Rebranding JCU would require state parliament’s approval.

Queensland University of Technology vice-chancellor Peter Coaldrake says the cost of living is just as much a concern for Australian universities students as tuition fees. Professor Coaldrake is in favour of the Federal Government’s proposal to deregulate university fees. QUT estimates that the cost of its 5.5-year double degree in business and law would rise by $A17,300 to a total of $A78,500 if the Government’s reforms proceed
