Australian private universities are encouraged to be transparent about arrangements with foreign entities by publishing information about those arrangements on their websites. Australian private universities can also seek advice from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade on the foreign policy implications of potential arrangements before they enter those. Therefore, they have the capacity to consult on those issues as part of their normal business. We encourage them to do so, if they wish to.
