Brothers' dream of free uni hits snag TWO Indian philanthropists with a dream of establishing a free university in Australia for disadvantaged indigenous people have hit their first hurdle: a stern letter from the legal counsel of Australian National University saying that if they don't change the proposed name they can expect a writ. Brothers Harikumar and Arun Pallathadka, described as "an international level activist" and a "writer," have written to South Australian Skills and Higher Education Minister Grace Portolesi on a plan to establish a university for 1000 disadvantaged indigenous people in that state.
