We're expecting hundreds of job losses at @ourANU this year - not that they'll tell you about it. The culture of secrecy about the livelihoods of staff is yet another reason for @NTEUnion Vote of No Confidence. See our presentation (register via Zoom):
“ANU staff deserve better than to find out that their jobs are going through a document left in a lunchroom.” - @NTEUnion ACT Division Secretary @LachlanClohesy Secret job cuts by external consultants - another reason for Vote of No Confidence at @ourANU.

Looking forward to contributing from an @NTEUnion perspective on what's going wrong in higher education. Well done to @Greens for hosting on this important issue. It'll be great to catch up with @MehreenFaruqi and Isabel Mudford.

Nobody likes job losses. But the @NTEUnion has managed to win a reprieve for staff in 'spill and fill' processes, and a slight reduction in the number of people to go. All possible through the actions of union members. ✊
Very difficult time for @UniCanberra staff going through 'spill and fill' processes or facing the loss of their position. We've managed to improve the situation somewhat, with 60+ no longer in 'spill and fill' processes following @NTEUnion efforts.

Whether it's @ourANU or @UOW - if you're getting more than $1 million a year to run a public university, the *very least* we should expect is your undivided attention.
Turns out the job-cutting Uni of Wollongong Vice-Chancellor Dewar has continued working for consultancy firm KordaMentha during his tenure, despite UOW saying he had been on unpaid leave from the company which is contracted to review the uni's operations. Disgraceful. @NTEUnion

I love it when university staff decide not just to lament the damage being done to their university, but instead decide to stand together and do something about it. See you tomorrow!
We have an important information session for all @ourANU staff tomorrow. For more information, or to register, visit All ANU staff welcome. If you are not yet an @NTEUnion member, now is the time to join at ✊

According to @timeshighered, the 2025 world ranking for @ourANU has dropped from 49th to 73rd since 2019 (down from 67th last year). This includes a drop in the rating given to teaching. I can't imagine bigger classes & abolishing the Centre for Learning & Teaching will help...

The VC counter-offensive has begun. Now that a Parliamentary Inquiry will shine a light on shoddy university governance & issues like VC salaries, the man who was once Australia's highest-paid VC reckons universities should just be left alone... @NTEUnion
