WOW.. That's terrible. I was thinking about applying at Melbourne Uni for a graduate course in sciences department. I've to admit that I was attracted to it mostly because of the uni's global reputation. It's very expensive. Now I'm reconsidering. Just because someone is an expert in a field doesn't give them the right to be abusive. There are plenty people who're outstanding in there field of expertise and are also very nice and humble people. I don't understand what people get from such behaviour.
