In order to avoid offending the University of London and smoothly pass the bill, the Melbourne Cabinet made a significant concession in the composition ratio of the academic council; the government-appointed members only accounted for 30%, while those selected by the University of London and King's College respectively occupied 40% and 30%.
To an outsider, perhaps the government's move seems truly selfless.
But if viewed from the standpoint of the University of London, it's a different story altogether.
Although they obtained forty percent, taking into account King's College's political inclination, the government aspect didn't receive 30% of seats but rather 60%.
Thus, the Radical Party in Parliament is currently unhappy with the Cabinet over this matter.
