ONE of Australia's largest, oldest and richest universities has found a new source of donations: its staff.

The University of Melbourne, which last year booked a budget surplus of $1.08 billion and which expects to increase that by $31.9million this year, has launched a staff appeal that urges employees to give 'as little as $2 a fortnight'.
