NAARM/MELBOURNE – Monash University and Indigenous Business Australia (IBA) have announced a fresh partnership to back the Master of Indigenous Business Leadership (MoIBL), described as “culturally grounded” and aimed at strengthening Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leadership pathways across sectors.
It’s being sold as more than scholarships (“a strategic investment”) according to IBA CEO David Knights – with extra bells and whistles like co-designed research, education sessions and Indigenous business case studies.
Monash, for its part, says the partnership is about outcomes “beyond the classroom”, helping First Nations leaders shape their own economic futures and strengthen community-led enterprise.
And because Monash is nothing if not committed to “real-world learning” the university has reportedly decided the best way to demonstrate values-driven leadership is to do it while the inbox is smoking.
That’s because Mr Boulton (a former judge and Monash legal academic) has been charged with three counts of possessing child abuse material, with court documents alleging the material was inadvertently shown during a lecture. He has been granted bail; the matter is listed to return later in the year and he is no longer employed by the university.
Monash’s crisis-comms team confirmed the partnership remains “transformational”, adding that the “transformation” is currently occurring in their group chat at a rate of 400 messages per minute.
This is satire. The court matter referenced above is ongoing and allegations remain unproven.
