This is about a lack of transparency, a lack of information, and a lack of adherence to the Change Principles #ANU set out just a couple of months ago.

After yesterday's #ANU Change Proposal, we've updated ANU's Wall of Shame.

And they're not done...

ANU Council is meeting today, and @nteunion.bsky.social will be holding them accountable should they fail to act in the best interests of the University.

The loss of the school of sociology undermines decades of intellectual investment It would be a big loss for the ANU

"If ANU is serious about preparing students to lead in the public interest as public servants, community organisers, researchers and analysts, it must retain an autonomous, standalone school of sociology."

ANU graduate employability falls, uni misses targets as financial figures are questioned ANU made a 'profit' in 2024, but it was constrained in its use.

We're calling on #ANU to open the books. The $142.5m operating deficit is not audited by ANAO.

In October 2024 ANU claimed the operating deficit would be $200m, and sacked staff on the basis of it. @nteunion.bsky.social has no confidence. Job cuts need to end.

Let's be clear, #UniCanberra is turning the corner. That's a good thing.

But @nteunion.bsky.social 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.

@nteunion.bsky.social concerns go beyond the job losses themselves, but to the important schools, centres and areas to be cut which will either be severely diminished, or which we simply won't get back again.

Staff hope to find a way through ANU trouble, say cuts aren't the answer 'Education funding has been under attack for decades.'

Staff at #ANU 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.bsky.social agrees. Trim the top, not the talent.

'Hunger Games scenario': four ANU lecturers and only three jobs Four lecturers going for three jobs speak out about the stress and the cost.

The job cuts at #ANU 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.
