	Description:		Australian universities are more dependent than ever on foreign students' fees. As Government funding has been whittled away, they've turned to full fee paying international students to fill the financial void. Now, a Four Corners investigation reveals that unis might be compromising their academic standards in the name of preserving their cash flow. There's plenty at stake for the students too, who in many cases have sacrificed everything for an Australian education, only to find the course is beyond them. There are reports of plagiarism, and pressure on teaching staff to pass substandard work. So could Australia's third largest export, education, be about to suffer a reputational hit?
