UTS academics describe ‘culture of fear’ as enrollments put on hold for nearly a fifth of courses. A deliberate strategy to "pause" courses and then say that there are no students and then fire people. This is happening at Macquarie University too. tinyurl.com/yns2s5jf

That's right ANU did not provide one single council member to explain their actions at the Senate Inquiry into university governance. And this is a public university???

Thank you Dr Jenna Price for this excellent article about the ANU horror show designed by the ANU managers. Please, we urgently need more reporters to call out the systemic failure of management and of the AU government- doing nothing! tinyurl.com/3unahhmr

UTS management apparently paid KPMG consultants already $9 million. Can any journalist and politician please demand that UTS shows what exactly is the work of KPMG? What kind of work is worth this much money? What exactly and concretely is the work?

Good morning Australia and good night. Read this article in the Saturday Paper and ask why Jason Clare MP and Co. are doing absolutely nothing to save Australian Universities? As Dr Jenna Price wrote in the Canberra Times, does our minister for education even have a spine?

TEQSA has now written to the ANU advising its “investigation had been expanded to include ‘broader risks to compliance’ including the culture of the ANU Council and executive leadership, and oversight of its financial position”. Good. abc.net.au/news/2025-08-1…

Professor Steven Roberts, a senior member of ANU leadership, has today suggested a pause on restructuring at the nation’s university. It’s incredibly heartening to see folks stand up like this! This is leadership. ✊afr.com/work-and-caree…

This shows how Australia treats education: by suspending of secondary and primary education degrees as in the case of UTS. The fact that AU /NSW governments allow this to happen and do nothing to prevent managers from destroying knowledge says so much! tinyurl.com/2fbvk7wj

The managers say that they are "forced to restructure" and blame the government. Of course we need better gov. policy for our universities, but especially we need a complete change of university governance!! The managers are completely incompetent! tinyurl.com/mpmuffcs

Think of it in Australia wide terms. What will it mean if we wont have people educated in Arts and Humanities? Australia on its way to lack the capacity to understand itself. tinyurl.com/4n3zs3bc

This new article proposes a mixed "policy", "public good" and "radical -democratic" approach to save our Australian universities. It also points out that universities are key for the future of our nation. All true and urgent! tinyurl.com/2pc9462f

BREAKING: NTEU is taking UTS to the Fair Work Commission to challenge cuts to over 100 courses, which are being used to justify mass job cuts.

Arts degrees are set to remain at $50,000 until at least 2027, despite Albanese’s reform pledges. Do Labor + Jason Clare MP grasp the damage this does to Australian society by devaluing such vital areas of knowledge? tinyurl.com/5y4z8xxj

Labor, where is your integrity? AU Labor Party senators blocked Pocock's bid for financial transparency from ANU: tinyurl.com/mrvm2drc
