Summary

Australian National University is throwing cash at former applicants—up to $5,000—to lure them back for just one subject, betting the money will pay for itself through tuition.

While some students are skeptical, experts see it as a desperate bid to regain trust—and possibly millions in lost revenue. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
