- Just to possibly set the record straight, the University of Sydney is
- one of Australia's prestigious universities. It is likely that Geir's
- figures, if correct, refer to a different definition of _professor_.
-
- In Australian universities, the title _professor_ is usually reserved
- for administrative and academic heads of departments. Most teaching
- staff are referred to as _lecturers_.
-
- The total enrolment at U of S in 1991 was 29 967 of which 22 303 were
- full-time.
-
- I will cross-post this to aus.education which may elicit more information
- from Sydney (2000 miles to the east!)
