Crikey.com.au have just broken one of the biggest Oz news stories for years:
http://www.crikey.com.au/politics/2003/02/02/20030202dunkinphd.html
In the best indy-journalism tradition, the really important news buried well into the story - this bit is very little to do with RMIT's ongoing chaos, rather, it concerns embattled vice-chancellor Ruth Dunkin, and the circumstances of her PHD.
In posting the link, I do not vouch in any way for the facts and opinions contained therein. If they turn out to be wayward, Messrs Mayne & Co will have a major defamation headache on their hands. If they are right, then I predict that Dunkin's going-down is going to be Australian universities' "Enron" - an almost-unbelievable tale of monumental greed, vapidity and incompetence (with a baby boomer claque at its operational core, of course).
