With $20 million forked out by Western Sydney University between 2015 and 2017 on its marketing; and the University of New South Wales, RMIT, and the University of Queensland all spending between $12.5 to $15 million in 2013 on their marketing– excluding staffing costs and overheads – the half a million spent by Federation University seems a paltry amount.

It sounds like a conspiracy theory, but research into deadly diseases often doesn’t get funding because pharmaceutical companies can’t make money out of it. This includes cures for malaria, Ebola, and the Zika virus.
