ā€˜ā€¦Vice Chancellors’ millions aren’t the only millions that should be ringing alarm bells. There are also the millions that their institutions have failed to pay their staff to (among other things) teach their students.’ indailysa.com.au/news/opinion/2…

Hear, hear! Solidarity with staff at Macquarie University - the latest uni pushing sweeping cuts to courses and jobs. The people who run our unis are out of ideas, in thrall to consultants and not fit to do the job. Governance change can't come quick enough! #HigherEducation

The managerial morass at Deakin University gets worse, with casual staff still waiting for back pay, despite the uni admitting widespread underpayment over a year ago. Even worse, staff are now being forced into lower paid roles. geelongadvertiser.com.au/news/geelong/d… #HigherEducation #HigherEd

Congratulations Jason Clare MP - this will give comfort to a lot of people. Unfortunately, ourANU leadership has exemplified some of the worst of the governance crisis in our universities and it's great to see action taken.

This unprecedented intervention is a damning indictment of the governance crisis engulfing not just ANU, but universities around the country. Such a massive win for NTEU members fighting for governance reform. Time for national change! afr.com/work-and-caree…

Thank you, Jason Clare MP! The minister has taken the extraordinary steps writing to ANU leadership asking them to explain themselves and referred to the university regulator. I hope the government inquiry into university governance is extended. afr.com/work-and-caree…

This is great news. But it shouldn't have come to this. ANU Council have failed to act. Thanks to David Pocock, Alicia Payne MP, Andrew Leigh, David Smith & Katy Gallagher for your continuing advocacy and support on behalf of ourANU staff & students.

"Those problems have mounted to such a significant extent in our national university that the education minister, who is understandably wary about ministerial intervention, has decided that he could no longer look away." - NTEU's Dr Lachlan Clohesy abc.net.au/news/2025-06-2…

Even a dollar in wage theft is a dollar too much. But instead of making things right and paying back the millions they owe, Deakin University is now pushing new contracts with worse pay and conditions. Kudos to the NTEU for continually standing up for staff.

The governance crisis at ANU is a national scandal. Julie Bishop must go. We need sector-wide reform. afr.com/politics/feder…

The $800,000 hoovered up by the Chancellor would pay the salaries of all staff in three centres that the ANU is proposing to abolish- the Humanities Research Centre, the Europe Centre and the Australian National Dictionary Centre.

The ANU 'leadership' is making those of us who work there look like complete flogs. There's some new atrocity almost every day.
