How’s it going over there Maynooth? My DMs are open. Just sayin.

How’s it working out for you over there Maynooth?.

only teaching [non-pandemic related], was the cause of petitions, protests, international bad publicity across multiple media outlets, then Prof Leinonen is the right fit. We know the strength of solidarity and the benefit of being prepared. Good luck, Maynooth!.

& killed departments, moved staff to ‘teaching only’ contracts, sued a whistleblower who revealed internal corruption, ensured senior management were handsomely paid while staff suffered pay cuts, job losses and job insecurity, deeply hurt staff morale, insisted on online.

We’re tweeting FACTS but there’s way more to discover online and from Murdoch staff. If Maynooth is seeking a trajectory that matches Murdoch’s recent past then Prof Leinonen is a good fit. If they want someone with a history of enacting major restructuring that reduced, divided.

This account was set up to raise awareness and to forewarn. We don’t know what an Irish university President does exactly, but if it’s equivalent to a VC then the staff and students @MaynoothUni should be prepared. Everything in our tweets is available to find online . .

Do Irish universities have unions? @MaynoothUni might need one.

Good morning @MaynoothUni and good luck.

We’d like to ask a question and present some information to @MaynoothUni @maynoothsu @President_MU @MU__SSI @MaynoothEnglish @MaynoothLaw @MUFacultyofArts @mu_postgrad @MU_Intl.

These articles are the tip of the iceberg and only a small amount of what has been printed about the utter chaos and misery Leinonen has brought on Murdoch. We are not sorry to see her go but we are shocked to see Maynooth employ her. And so we ask again: WTF Maynooth?.

“Murdoch University will require academics to spend almost all of their time teaching, in an intensification of a workload reallocation proposal announced last September. Staff complained that the benchmarks were so onerous that even star publishers risked losing research time.”.

Quotes from the article: “Unlike most Australian vice-chancellors, Professor Leinonen has not agreed to a pay cut this year to contribute to savings”.

More on using the pandemic as a cover to gross incompetence here. “An Australian university has been accused by a union of using the economic impact of the pandemic as “cover” to shift research-active staff into teaching-only roles.”.

While sitting on a salary of $930,000 for 23,000 students, Leinonen emailed her university that hundreds of staff would be sacked. This wasn’t due to the pandemic but to YEARS of poor or absent strategy.
