Businessman Lang Walker is giving $26 million to Western Sydney University for a medical centre at Campbelltown Hospital in the city's south-west and a professorship in building at WSU as the university joins an infrastructure surge including a new airport, light rail and metro train.

The privatisation of education company Navitas, meanwhile, has led to an Indigenous education program at the University of New England.
