I will report this to the local paper. This has to be put on here first though. And I have read all your reviews on here and HAHA you are all correct.!!! There is now evidence to show that JCU has been accepting bribes for student intake and passing. They will even allow bribes to get away with misconduct. Senior lecturers will be away 3-4 months at a time to get students from overseas. Which would be okay but they forget that they have students back home. Anyone who questions JCU motives are kept quiet. JCU has been accepting bribes and donations to allow student to get away with misconduct which includes plagarism, cheating and sexual assault. The on campus colleges are the absolute worst!!!! They actually don't care about repercussions as they are continuing in the same vein they have always done. We need an investigative journalist to delve deeper into this culture of bribery and free gifts. The legal department is the definition of a joke. In fact it is believed they are the ones who encourage this behavior because they are so bad they can't cope with all the complaints so it is better to be paid off. If you can AVOID this university. They are corrupt and produce no results. Just a little more than a diploma mill at this point. God bless.
JCU has become a nightmare not just for staff but for students alike. Not only have they been cutting jobs they have also been cutting courses. Unfortunately this was revealed not by the higher ups at JCU but by the media.
In fact,most financial records, student complaints and general dealings hold no transparency.
Recently dubbed as being worth $600 million to the economy, this is a pittance compared to other universities.
There are many examples of how JCU has cheated staff and students. This ranges from abruptly cutting jobs right through to letting medical students continue their studies despite being involved in this: theage.com.au/news/education-news/third-degree/2006/06/02/1148956534393.html
What is not revealed by this article is that the perpertrators were in fact allowed to continue with their medical studies.
They also censure their staff on a constant basis: theaustralian.com.au/higher-education/reef-whistleblower-censured-by-james-cook-university/news-story/c7aa0e0ac1c1dec1b065273d2e968f6d
In addition the medical school's Director of Students Ms Grant was expelled herself from university. It is unknown how she gained the qualifications to take on this job.
JCU Marine biology students have been know for receiving 'soft marking' for being full fee paying international students. This article demonstrates that JCU was a part of foreign student 'poaching' abc.net.au/news/2015-04-17/universities-foreign-student-feeding-frenzy-corrupt-middlemen/6398922
In general JCU isn't an educational institution because they aren't bothering with education. Just making more buildings and neglecting the things that matter.
