As a student myself, in my final year of University and I do feel that there definitely needs to be more control/transparency where the tuition fees go.

The faculty that I am on is one of the lowest scoring areas of the university according to the National Student Survey. I assume this is due to the lecturers not having the knowledge or experience when compared to the students who are passionate about their field which they are currently studying for a degree in. Most have managed to get the job with little industry experience to share with students and don't have experience with a modern workflow such as using Linux, git, etc.

Personally, I would be much more happier if the lecturers have a basic salary but then allow students to give more of a percentage of their tuition fees to the departments that keep up to date with their field.
