One of the major individuals involved was Davis McCaughey , who later became Governor of Victoria . The university

430-649: A decreasing proportion of national research funding. In an attempt to address these issues, the university is making cut backs and restructuring several courses under the direction of the Vice-Chancellor, John Dewar. As of 2013, the university is operating on a 28 million dollar surplus. In 2015, La Trobe University committed to fully divest from fossil fuels, after a campaign by students and faculty.

Around the same time, the university suffered cutbacks in government funding, a problem experienced across most of the Australian higher education sector.

For instance, the History Department at the university was once by far the largest of any institution in Australia; however, funding restrictions have led to

774-609: A larger institutional unit while being physically independent. In most cases students at university colleges took the external exams of the University of London , but the colleges of the University of Wales and the Victoria University took degrees of those institutes while the university colleges in Newcastle and Dundee were associated with the universities of Durham and St Andrews respectively. Not all of these university colleges used university college in their name. With

1204-453: A reduction in international student enrolments, purportedly weakened the university's financial position - although the extent to which this occurred is debated.

In 2008, the university cut the Philosophy and Religious Studies Program at

Instead, university colleges were associated with universities and thus formed

6536-435: The term existed in the federal University of Wales in the late 20th century; some of its constituent colleges took titles such as "University College Aberystwyth". These colleges were to all intents and purposes independent universities (the University of Wales' powers being largely restricted to the formal awarding of degrees).
