The Australasian Institute has given the Federal Court undertakings that it will, for the present, stop promotion of a Global Master of Business Administration degree.
The Institute has given undertakings to the Court, and Justice Rodney Madgwick has ordered that the Institute will not advertise, or represent to the public, via its Internet web site, or otherwise: that the Global Master of Business Administration has the approval, sponsorship, or endorsement of the University of Ballarat; that the Global Master of Business Administration is an approved Internet version of the University of Ballarat's Master of Business Administration; and that applications for enrolment can be made, or that enrolments will be accepted for the Global Master of Business Administration.
In addition, the Institute has undertaken to provide the names and addresses of the students currently enrolled in the Global Master of Business Administration to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.
The matter will be next before the Court on 18 June 1999.
Clarifying the ACCC's position, the undertakings follow an application by the ACCC for an interim injunction against the Institute seeking to restrain it from making certain representations about the Global Master of Business Administration.
