Former Prime Minister John Howard was recently awarded the degree of Doctor of the University from Bond University in recognition of his long and distinguished service to Australia, his contribution to economic and social policy reform, and his support of a diversified higher education sector which recognised the valued contribution of non-government universities in Australia.
Vice Chancellor Professor Robert Stable said: “John Howard, through is policies, recognised and supported a more diverse higher education sector, which if you look at the North American example is critical in a world class education system.’’
