Talk:National Liaison Committee for International Students in Australia

Comments
this article reads far too much like the promotional material/website for an organisation, it needs work to be made more encyclopedic, sentences like this one:


 * With such fast growth in the industry, the NLC is continually facing challenges by educational institutions and government departments on keeping students rights first and foremost before the tempting profit margin

simply won't fly in an encyclopedia article. clarkk 03:17, 14 May 2005 (UTC)


 * I agree, even with the current introduction to the article which says that it is speculated that NLC is one of its kind is ridiculous without any facts/references. Da amazerxl 09:37, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

NLC faction or department question
Just out of curiousity - which relates somewhat to the neutrality/content of the article, can an international student who is a member of a faction other than the NLC realistically expect to be able to hold a leadership position within the NLC (as a department of NUS)?


 * No. In terms of NUS operations, the NLC is for all intents and purposes a faction of its own.  But then again, I can't really think of an international student being involved with a faction other than the NLC, for two main reasons:


 * The factions are primarily focused around Australian domestic political issues, which will be of limited relevance to international students; and
 * International student visa conditions expressly prohibit their being involved in political activism (something the NLC itself is not particularly happy with). Slac  speak up!  20:33, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I wish to point out that there are two students to the best of my knowledge involved in other factions and one of which holds a position in NLC. However, its a rare sight and the student, whose name is Ruchir Punjabi ( a member of National Labor Students ) was elected on the state level only because the national faction had no control over it. However, the chances of someone like him getting elected at the national level are minimal. 20:37, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Nope. Why would it be a joke?

National Factional and National Office
As far as the truth goes anyone elected to the National office in the NLC has little knowledge of the faction, and if they do know anything it is primarily to ensure that our budgets are protected , since we do not have a voice which can be heard easily by any other faction or interest group existing in NUS.We involve ourselves in NUS simply for the sake of protecting our departments survival.If someone argues that we do it for other or hypocritical reasons then theyr are 'NUTS', coz one knows that international students not only can't vote but also not take part in any political activity.So its obvious why we get involved in factional politics.

Also i must answer that any one is able to get elected for any national office position however we chose to elect someone who has a proven track record of representation, and not of blaming our national organisation of fraud and miscounduct on official pages of their SRC's coz they are chickens who can't come out in the open and speak up. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dork45 (talk • contribs) 14:53, 14 January 2007 (UTC).

Multiple Issues & Controversy
The NLC has been refused recognition from the Group of Eight universities and the NUS - see article here - there is evidence that most of this article is factually incorrect and misrepresentational Australian Matt (talk) 02:33, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

National Conference
The week-long NLC National Conference (NLCAC), incorporating a two day National Education Conference, is the longest running conference in Australia focused on international education and international student issues. It is also the only conference on the International Education Conference circuit that focuses on quality of education and support services.

In 2005, NLC celebrates its 20th anniversary with the 20th NLCAC in Newcastle, New South Wales.

At each National Conference, delegates have the opportunity to participate in the discourse of the provision of international education in Australia, as well as shaping government policy that affects international students in Australia.

Conference delegates spend the week drafting and debating policies that shape the agenda for the organisation and identification of priority issues for the following year. The policies that have been approved by the conference delegates are then put to the delegates of the NUS conference for ratification to be included as international students policies in the NUS policy volume.

The NLCAC culminates with the election of new office bearers for the following year.
