Sources said at a staff briefing on Friday, Vice Chancellor Jane den Hollander mentioned Federation University, Central Queensland University (CQU) and La Trobe University as potential new operators.
Federation University is the only one to confirm it has had “informal” discussions with Deakin.
A spokesman for La Trobe said it had not spoken with Deakin.
“We have extensive experience in operating small, successful campuses in regional centres and remain committed to doing so,” a spokesman said.
CQU media officer Marc Barnbaum said the university had no comment to make.
