Murdoch University has dropped a major section of its lawsuit against Professor (Gerd Schroder-Turk) who blew the whistle over questionable international student intake practices. The professor claimed international students recruited via an Indian-owned agency were being set up for failure. The University has seen backlash from the tertiary community over the impact the legal action could have on academic freedom of speech.
