Is RMIT still having financial & admin. problems?

Question

I've been accepted to a masters program at RMIT (I'm from the US) and am considering the offer. I like the course/class offerings & faculty, however I found a news article from Nov. 2004 outlining a bunch of financial problems that RMIT was having and problems with their student administration system.

Does anyone know if these problems are still ongoing or if they've been resolved over the past year or so? I'd rather not encounter any problems with an admin system that could put me in jeopardy of losing my visa... If anyone's got insight on this, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!

There were stories in the IT section of some newspapers but these were not filtering through to mainstream stories. Many companies experience cost overruns such as this on major IT projects. It does not affect student attendence, they continue to handle many international students every year, there have been no new news stories that I can remember in recent times. It is a professionally run institution and you should have a great time studying here.
