Lack of preliminary planning, especially in aligning expectations of internal and external stakeholders.

"At present, and for many years leading up to now, the University of Sydney and the University of New South Wales have had a significantly higher number of higher degree research (HDR) students than any other NSW universities.
However, the numbers of HDR students at most of the remaining eight NSW universities are at historically high levels and all indications are that numbers of HDR students will continue to grow in future years."
