Australian Catholic University

Australian Catholic University, usually shortened to ACU, is a Commonwealth-funded public university constituted as a company limited by guarantee in Australia, carrying seven Australian campuses together with a Leadership Centre in Adelaide, another in Townsville and the Rome Centre opened in 2015 as a collaboration with the Catholic University of America.澳大利亚天主教大学常缩写为 ACU，是一所由澳大利亚联邦资助、以「担保有限公司」法人形式构成的公立大学，拥有七所澳大利亚校区，另在阿德莱德与汤斯维尔各设领导力中心，并在 2015 年随与美国天主教大学的合作开设罗马中心。

It was opened on 1 January 1991 following the amalgamation of four Catholic tertiary institutions in eastern Australia, and its historical roots go back to the mid-nineteenth century when religious orders began preparing teachers for Catholic schools and nurses for Catholic hospitals, drawing on more than 20 antecedent bodies overall.该校 1991 年 1 月 1 日开学，由此前东澳大利亚四所天主教高等院校合并而成，其历史可追溯至 19 世纪中叶——那时各修会与团体开始为天主教学校培养教师、为天主教医院培养护士，前后共有 20 余个前身机构汇入。

In the QS World University Rankings 2027 ACU is placed in the 851-900 band, in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2027 in the 401-450 band, at 320 in the 2026-2027 U.S. News global table and in the 501-600 band of the 2026 Shanghai Ranking.在 2027 年 QS 世界大学排名中该校列第 851-900 位，在 2027 年泰晤士高等教育世界大学排名中列第 401-450 位，在 2026-2027 年度 US News 全球榜单中列第 320 位，在 2026 年软科世界大学学术排名中列第 501-600 位。

History

• Australian Catholic University was formally opened on 1 January 1991, an inauguration created by the amalgamation of four Catholic tertiary institutions located in eastern Australia.澳大利亚天主教大学于 1991 年 1 月 1 日正式开办，其成立源于东澳大利亚四所天主教高等院校的合并。

• The first constituent was the Catholic College of Education in Sydney, New South Wales, one of the teacher-training houses that entered the 1991 federation.第一所成员院校是位于新南威尔士州悉尼的天主教教育学院的合并入会，它是 1991 年联合体的师资培训母体之一。

• The second was the Institute of Catholic Education in Victoria, whose own origins lay in Catholic teacher formation from about 1850 onward.第二所是位于维多利亚州的天主教教育研究院，其自身源头可追溯到大约 1850 年起就开展的天主教师资培养。

• The third was McAuley College in Queensland, named for the Catholic educational tradition that had grown in Brisbane across the twentieth century.第三所是位于昆士兰州的麦考利学院，其名取自 20 世纪在布里斯班成长起来的天主教教育传统。

• The fourth was Signadou College of Education in the Australian Capital Territory, a Canberra institution carried into the 1991 federation.第四所是位于澳大利亚首都特区的锡纳杜教育学院，这所堪培拉院校一并纳入 1991 年的联合体。

• Those four colleges themselves traced their roots to the mid-nineteenth century, when religious orders and institutes became involved in preparing teachers for Catholic schools.这四所学院的根基可上溯至 19 世纪中叶——彼时修会与团体开始介入天主教学校的师资培养。

• A second wave of Catholic professional schooling produced nurses for Catholic hospitals, again run by religious orders and institutes through the late 1800s and into the 1900s.第二波天主教专业教育则面向天主教医院培养护士，同样由修会与团体自 19 世纪后期一路办至 20 世纪。

• Through a series of amalgamations, relocations, transfers of responsibility and diocesan initiatives, more than 20 historical entities contributed to the creation of the university.经过一系列合并、搬迁、职责移交与教区举措，前后有 20 余个历史机构参与造就了这所大学。

• Its legal constitution is unusual for an Australian institution, since ACU is a public company limited by guarantee rather than a chartered corporation, and it is a Commonwealth-funded higher education provider.其法律构制在澳大利亚较为特殊，该校是以「担保有限公司」而非特许法人设立，同时是联邦资助的高等教育机构。

• ACU identifies as a Roman Catholic university that follows the apostolic constitution Ex corde Ecclesiae for Catholic universities and runs a Catholic core curriculum alongside its degrees.该校自认是一所罗马天主教大学，遵循关于天主教大学的宗座宪章《教会》（Ex corde Ecclesiae），在学位课程之外并行天主教核心课程。

• In 2015 the university opened the Rome Centre, a collaboration with the Catholic University of America located in Rome, Italy, adding a European base to its seven Australian campuses.2015 年该校开设罗马中心，是与美国天主教大学在意大利罗马共建的机构，使学校七所澳大利亚校区之外再添一个欧洲基地。

• Its Australian footprint covers campuses at Ballarat, Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne and Sydney, the Sydney cluster running across Blacktown, North Sydney and Strathfield, plus a Leadership Centre in Adelaide and another in Townsville.澳大利亚境内校园分布巴拉瑞特、布里斯班、堪培拉、墨尔本与悉尼，其中悉尼群由布莱敦、北悉尼、斯特拉斯菲尔德三处构成，另在阿德莱德与汤斯维尔各设一处领导力中心。

• Mount St Mary Campus in Strathfield is heritage-listed, tying the university's physical estate to older Catholic educational architecture in New South Wales.斯特拉斯菲尔德的圣玛山校区已被列为遗产保护建筑，将学校的不动产与新南威尔士较早的天主教教育建筑连为一体。

• In the 2024 academic year ACU employed 2,503.8 full-time-equivalent staff, of whom 1,207.8 were academic and 1,296 non-academic, alongside the teaching and administration load carried through the seven campuses.在 2024 学年，该校共聘用 2,503.8 名全职当量员工，其中学术人员 1,207.8 名、非学术人员 1,296 名，共同承担七所校区的教学与行政工作量。

• Since 2021 the Commonwealth Supported Places scheme has capped a domestic student's entitlement to 7 years of equivalent full-time study load, tracked through a Student Learning Entitlement calculated at the start of each course.自 2021 年起，联邦资助学额制度把本土学生的学习权限定为 7 年全日制等同学业量，按每门课程入学时计算的「学习权」逐段扣减。

• In 2019 Australian universities adopted a model code that requires institutions to respect the academic freedom of their staff, a rule that shaped later disputes at ACU.2019 年澳大利亚各高校通过一份示范守则，要求高校尊重教职人员的学术自由，此项规则此后成为该校相关争议的评判基准。

• In March 2023 controversy broke out when campus rainbow flags were ordered removed, staff and students writing an open letter to vice-chancellor Zlatko Skrbis.2023 年 3 月校方下令拆除各校区悬挂的彩虹旗引发争议，教职工与学生就此联名致信副校长兹拉特科·斯克尔比什。

• In July 2023 the university launched an internal investigation into its contracts with Asset Group Solutions after that firm's founder had been charged with corruption.2023 年 7 月，因「资产方案集团」创始人被控腐败，校方就与该公司的合同展开内部调查。

• In September 2023 the university proposed a change plan that would eliminate the positions of higher-degree-research supervisors, leaving doctoral students without supervisors holding the relevant expertise.2023 年 9 月校方提出一项调整方案，将裁撤高等学位研究导师职位，使博士生失去具备相关专业的导师。

• The 2023 cuts were announced as a 250-million-dollar campus building, constructed to accommodate student and staff growth, neared completion, and Oxford and Yale philosopher Timothy Williamson told reporters the cuts would damage the international standing of the Australian university system as a whole.2023 年裁员宣布时，一栋造价 2.5 亿澳元、按师生规模扩建的校园大楼临近完工，牛津与耶鲁大学哲学家蒂莫西·威廉姆森对媒体表示此举将损害澳大利亚大学体系的整体国际声誉。

• In January 2024 ACU removed Kate Galloway AM as the newly appointed Dean of the Thomas More Law School upon discovering her pro-choice views and paid her 1.1 million Australian dollars to leave during the university's financial turmoil.2024 年 1 月，校方在发现托马斯·莫尔法学院新任院长凯特·加拉威（AM 勋衔）持择堕胎自由立场后将其免职，在学校财务动荡之际支付 110 万澳元遣散费。
