Series: Universities For Sale — Part 4: What Is A University For?

# Series: Universities For Sale — Part 4: What Is A University For? In the final part of *Universities For Sale*, Alex Mercer brings the series together and asks the bigger question: what is a university actually for in modern Australia?
