Not sure there are economies for universities at this scale, especially
if you have a lot of campuses. Adelaide and South Australia have
campuses just down the road from each other. This is valuable inner city
land, so the savings might come by closing one, or keeping it and
turning it into commercial rental space.

Yes. Normally when I see a weird uni ad, I do a search and find a video
for it on Youtube, and a uni site.

But in this case I couldn't find much. Perhaps they don't want
non-domestic students seeing it and getting frustrated they can't enroll.

Actually, I thought Govs needed to require Google (and other social
media companies) and Bus shelter advertising companies - to help spread
Covid pandemic health messages. I now think they should be spreading
"Waste" messages.
Ironically, Bus put Passengers off at that very bus stop as the motor
was failing becuse of the thick smoke. I tried masks when the air in
Sydney was so, heavy with Bushfire smoke? that it stalled buses on
Parramatta Rd in the Jan? before the Australian Gov recognised the Covid
pandemic

in South Korea": https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33282810/
And now ZOOM and Eventually Teams are part of our everyday
https://www.computerweekly.com/news/252484128/Covid-19-drives-Zoom-boom-in-first-quarter-of-2020
zoom was rumoured to have been established in 1995. Zoom Comunications
has wikipedia entry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoom_Communications
Perhaps link needs a Wikipedia entry.
