Scots College’s obscene $39mill conversion of their pre-existing library into a Baronial pile. The built reality of Aust ongoing failings to support public education while grossly over-funding the whims of bloated private schools. Blame Howard/Costello, but never fixed since

More reasons we need an urgent parliamentary inquiry into governance in public universities | Highest university executive pay packets revealed as crackdown looms smh.com.au/national/highe…

Scores of top university bureaucrats earn more than the Federal Treasurer while teaching staff have been victims of massive wage theft. Our universities have become greedy corporations, no longer the nation building institutions they’re meant to be. 1/2 #auspol

While executives rake in millions, university staff face rampant wage theft, insecure jobs, and reduced resources. These are the symptoms of a deeper issue: a broken governance system. Universities should be centres of fairness and learning, not exploitation and greed.

A job where $1m a year is just not enough? Government crackdown coming for double-dipping university leaders after NTEU reports highlight pay and conflict of interest issues. NTEU VIC's Joo-Cheong Tham comments. afr.com/work-and-caree… #HigherEducation #HigherEd #universities

After Monash University admits another $7.6m in wage theft, NTEU pushes for a government inquiry. "We urgently need a thorough and independent investigation into governance at Monash" Ben Eltham, NTEU Monash Branch President. Read the Guardian and Herald Sun reports. #HigherEd

Wage theft is always "unintentional", yet at every university there are casual workers who have been fighting to uncover it for years—only to be repeatedly dismissed by management.

We need a Parliamentary Inquiry into University Governance. The ourANU example has shown that universities are unwilling or unable to do what is necessary themselves. Join NTEU at nteu.au/join.

It’s critical staff have a strong voice on the new Expert Council on University Governance. NTEU welcomes the opportunity to nominate an expert to contribute & Sharan Burrow’s appointment to lead the council which must tackle the sector’s governance crisis theaustralian.com.au/nation/politic…

UNION WIN! Nei til EU members have fought long & hard for a federal inquiry into university governance & are now on the brink of a win that will mean VCs will be put under parliamentary scrutiny over wage theft, huge salaries & a raft of other problems in unis news.com.au/national/polit…

“Australia’s most prominent vice chancellors will be grilled by a powerful new parliamentary committee about governance and management failures as a former union official and Labor senator Tony Sheldon described universities as a “lawless sector”. ⁦afr.com/politics/feder…

I can help with an answer ... 'The inquiry will also scrutinise whether university governing bodies have the necessary skills to provide effective oversight of university managers and whether their composition has enough understanding of universities and their core missions.'

‘Lawless’ is an apt description of some of the entrenched corporatised governance practices that have been allowed to incubate without scrutiny in universities, and which are eroding our great system of public higher education. Bring on the inquiry. NTEU

There is undoubtedly value in higher education, which goes beyond financial benefit & employability, and extends to students developing their full personhood. But universities are being let down by VCs stripping millions out & running them into the ground.afr.com/policy/health-…

“Universities seem to be run to meet the KPIs of senior executives – and their big bonuses – while the core work – teaching and research – becomes a distant second priority” - ⁦Hannah Forsyth she/her 🍉 @hannahforsyth.bsky.soci⁩ spot on in the ⁦Financial Review⁩ ⁦NTEU⁩ afr.com/policy/health-…

Never a truer word: “Academics are always responding to a new pressure from management that distracts – and often undermines – the experience of students. Insightful as always Hannah Forsyth she/her 🍉 @hannahforsyth.bsky.soci

If you work in #highereducation, you probably know what's wrong with the way our #universities run, right? So make a submission to the government inquiry into university governance; let's make the sector better for staff, students, everyone! betterunis.nteu.au/inquiry/#submi…
