Students with a disability also made up 4.79% of the student population. CQUniversity's Vice-Chancellor Professor Scott Bowman stated in August 2012 that CQUniversity was "proud to have the highest proportion of students from low socio-economic backgrounds and double the national average of Indigenous students."

Famous quotes containing the word students:
“If we became students of Malcolm X, we would not have young black men out there killing each other like they’re killing each other now. Young black men would not be impregnating young black women at the rate going on now. We’d not have the drugs we have now, or the alcoholism.”
