University of Karabar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The University of Karabar is a higher education facility proposed by Queanbeyan's mayor Frank Pangello. Frank Pangello proposed to have the Queanbeyan TAFE campus moved to Karabar, utilising Karabar High School's demountable buildings in the summer time to offer increased places in a larger number of diplomas and possibly degrees. Little detail was given to the possibility of degrees on offer in "high demand areas such as accounting, IT and management, in order to transform Queanbeyan to a true brains trust, to a degree that would put Canberra to shame, permanently relegating the ACT to a status of Queanbeyan's little brother." Largely due to the NSW state government's lack of enthusiasm for the idea, no further planning has taken place and there has been little more mention of the project.
