1951

Bruce James Chapman (born 16 September 1951) is an Australian economist and academic known for being the founder or architect of the HECS system.

HECS is the Higher Education Contribution Scheme loans system.

He is currently a professor at the College of Business and Economics, Australian National University.

1987

Bruce Chapman further developed the policy with the support of the then Education Minister John Dawkins (see Dawkins Revolution).

He was also an advisor to the Keating government in 94–96.

In the original HECS, an $1,800 fee was charged to all university students, and the Commonwealth Government footed the bill.

It was a first of its kind loan scheme that used the tax system to collect repayments.

The scheme has influenced other countries like the United Kingdom, Ghana, New Zealand and Hungary to introduce their own model of a higher education contribution scheme.

2013

This included fee deregulation which Chapman has expressed concerns about as it allows universities to raise fees in excess to the cost of teaching students.
