University cannot serve this generation as it did mine – and I’m in grief Australia’s forlorn tertiary education system needs a massive overhaul, as do the people running it.

@jennaprice.bsky.social outlines what is being ruined for students today and tmr with the ongoing degradation of higher ed by university management. ANU wasn't the sole uni - there is Macquarie, UTS, WSU & more.

@jennaprice.bsky.social writes about UTS, MQ & higher ed in general. In the discipline I teach, Politics&IR, we are losing half our units &staff despite strong student #s and growth. Other disciplines face cuts. Diversity is under attack. Student options reduced and PhDs will lose supervisors.

Politics, Sociology, Ancient History, majors in Media, Music may be decimated @ MQ. 4/8 Politics staff with no more Politics units. 11/14 Sociologists to be axed. Ancient History recently the jewel in the MQ crown is being destroyed. This is beyond save Arts & SS @ MQ. Thank you @auspsa.bsky.social

Sometimes a close reading of a text is what’s required . All credit to @jumanabayeh.bsky.social for making transparent the agenda behind the #UniversitiesAustralia adoption of a definition of antisemitism. I look forward to the same care and attention to Islamophobia.

2. solidarity with Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah & condemning Education Minister’s political interference in ARC independence
