## Resource

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. The move, called the ANU Access and Transition Bursary, is a first for Aussie universities and comes amid a storm of scandals, leadership upheaval, and plummeting reputation. 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.
