Let's be clear, @UniCanberra is turning the corner. That's a good thing. But @NTEUnion wants to be sure that the governance failures which led to the financial crisis and job cuts never happen again. Staff need more say in university governance.

The @AustNAAE have written to @ourANU calling on the University to reconsider cuts and changes in the School of Music. @NTEUnion is concerned that disbanding the School and continuing it as a 'program' will severely diminish music at the ANU.

Strong statement from @HistoryNSW on cuts at @ourANU. @NTEUnion concerns go beyond the job losses themselves, but to the important schools, centres and areas to be cut which will be severely diminished, or which we simply won't get back again.

Staff at @ourANU say "years of bad governance and poor strategic leadership had resulted in this situation, and now staff were being asked to pay the price.". @NTEUnion agrees. Trim the top, not the talent.

The job cuts at @ourANU do damage beyond the job losses themselves. They erode culture, they erode collegiality, they undermine the ANU as a whole and destroy areas of national importance. @NTEUnion calls for Renew ANU - and job cuts - to be halted.

Great solidarity from @ourANU staff, students, and broader community today in the face of mass ANU job cuts. It was also fantastic to be joined by Senator @DavidPocock and Laura Nuttall MLA. ✊ . Join the @NTEUnion today at

No vision. No strategy. No confidence. As more opposition mounts against @ourANU job cuts, @NTEUnion will be holding an open rally in Kambri against job cuts today at 12pm. ✊ .

This piece is on the proposed closure of the Australian National Dictionary Centre at @ourANU. @NTEUnion will be holding a rally tomorrow at 12pm in Kambri against this sort of destruction, and the damage of Renew ANU more broadly.

More opposition to @ourANU disestablishing the School of Music, this time from the renowned Professor Larry Sitsky. @NTEUnion calls on ANU leadership to abandon these ill-conceived and unnecessary changes.

The internal governance review has been released for @UniCanberra today. Unfortunately, we're still in the dark over Paddy's $1.8m package & departure. However, @NTEUnion says great opportunity for UC to be leaders on university governance, starting with more staff reps.

The @ourANU Dean of CASS has cited a $250m operational deficit as justification for cuts. However, Renew ANU was based on a $200m deficit. And that was wrong - it was really $140m. @NTEUnion has no confidence that ANU is across the numbers.

At @ourANU, we are seeing a style of leadership applied which does not appear to appreciate the importance of universities as civic institutions which exist for the public good.

The school of music is a Canberra Institution, not just part of the ANU.

Yet another reminder that @ourANU cuts don't just affect staff and students, but they affect the broader community too. @NTEUnion wants to see job cuts cease while there is an ongoing TEQSA investigation. Apparently a big part of ANU Council agrees.

Strong statement of concern from @HumanitiesAU over @ourANU cuts, warning "the cuts pose a serious threat to Australia’s national intellectual and cultural capabilities.". @NTEUnion agrees. Time to stop the cuts.

"The bartenders at Badger, the pub, knew more about the cuts than anyone else, because all of the redundancy [goodbye] parties would happen there.". The situation at @ourANU is untenable. @NTEUnion says Renew ANU, and leadership, must go.
