Do you have the LTU 'Budget Blues'?

Posted 19 July 2011 by Serena O'Meley (La Trobe University)

NTEU La Trobe Branch is in favour of greater transparency in the budgeting process, however, we have identified a number of concerns regarding lack of flexibility in the implementation of the budget.
These include:

  • lack of recognition of historical successes
  • the setting of overly optimistic targets
  • anomalies in the allocation of central costs
  • a proposal for significant monetary penalties for low enrolment subjects
  • improper distribution of research funds according to limited ERA criteria
  • restrictive conditions for accessing Outside Earnings and Research Account monies
  • major problems with how research funds are accounted for when they are not spent in the year they are earned.

We have written to the Vice-Chancellor requesting a response on these issues and on our suggestions for improving the implementation of the budget.
