Article Abstract:

Vice-chancellors of Australian universities are resisting demands from the federal government for tighter control of their overseas operations.

Brendan Nelson, Education Minister, contends that with such growth, it is only a matter of time before "something unacceptable" happens and, therefore, greater controls are needed.
