All Staff Meeting - JOB CUTS AT USYD

Posted 18 November 2011 by Kate Barnsley (University of Sydney)

Job cuts on the table?

The NTEU believes that University of Sydney management are planning to make significant cuts to staffing levels. Management has not denied this. In fact, in their responses to press enquiries, management have confirmed that there would be “a reduction in expenditure” next year.

Recently, the NTEU wrote to the Vice Chancellor demanding urgent clarfication of university management's plans. The NTEU is meeting with university management on Monday 21 November to discuss their proposals.

We reject any rationale for staffing cuts. All of us know, more staff and better resourced staff are needed to ensure a high quality student experience and top level research output.

Members condemn university plans

At a recent meeting of NTEU members, a motion was passed denouncing these cuts as unnecessary. Members believe any cuts are likely to impact negatively on research and the education of students and have a detrimental impact on staff morale and wellbeing.

All staff meeting: Wednesday 30 November

All staff are invited to come to a meeting on Wednesday 30 November in Carslaw 273 from 1-2. We will hear a report of the meeting with University management and discuss our response to management's proposals.
