Affiliations
Burgmann college is an independent college affiliated with, but not owned by, the Australian National University (ANU). However, ANU has been able to exert pressure on the college in a number of ways. As part of this pressure from 2001 the college no longer accepts non-ANU students. Previously, it also accepted students attending the University of Canberra and Canberra Institute of Technology.
The college is sponsored by five churches (Anglican, Baptist, Presbyterian, Uniting, and Churches of Christ). However, the college does not have a strong religious tone and accepts students from any background. In 2004 the College Chapel was built.

Famous quotes containing the word affiliations:
“All the critics who could not make their reputations by discovering you are hoping to make them by predicting hopefully your approaching impotence, failure and general drying up of natural juices. Not a one will wish you luck or hope that you will keep on writing unless you have political affiliations in which case these will rally around and speak of you and Homer, Balzac, Zola and Link Steffens.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
