Most were founded in the colonial era with the exception of both the University of Queensland 1909 and The University of Western Australia 1911 . All of the universities included in the group have buildings constructed primarily of sandstone . Membership of the group is based on age some universities, such as Bond University , a private institution, have sandstone buildings but are not considered sandstone universities. The label Sandstone University is not necessarily synonymous with membership of the Group of Eight Australian universities Group of Eight which includes Australian National University ANU , Monash University Monash and University of New South Wales UNSW but not University of Tasmania UTAS . Nevertheless, the connotations prestige, a focus on research, and curricula that have a strong emphasis on theory rather than practice are much the same for the two groups. Australian Government survey data of university graduates has indicated in the past that students who enter Sandstone Universities come from higher income families, and that graduates largely have higher paid occupations or positions of influence, prompting claims of elitism and social division. ref Department of Education Training and Youth Affairs 1998 , The Characteristics and Performance of Higher Education Institutions, Canberra Higher Education Division, Department of Education, Employment and Youth Affairs ref ref Department of Education Training and Youth Affairs 1999 , Completions, Undergraduate academic outcomes for the 1992 commencing students, Melbourne DETYA. ref Sandstone Universities can be taken to be either ...
