We've received word that MPs Libby Coker MP and Tanya Plibersek have organised a Q&A Zoom meeting on 20 August to speak directly w those affected/concerned about the future of Higher Ed. This includes staff and students in Humanities, Law and Commerce areas + prospective students
Despite being silent while Deakin made redundancies & cuts rolled out across the sector that will disproportionately affect regional students, Henderson now claims Morrison Gov is looking after regional students... Deakin Students In Solidarity Deakin Rank and File
Yep. I will be speaking on the irony of outsourcing the traditional work of a university - the teaching of critical thinking - to casual staff in the most precarious work. Timely to think about with so many job losses this year. Deakin Rank and File Monash Casuals Network @NHECasuals
Instead of wasting their time fighting each other, how about the Liberal Party and the National Party make university more affordable and available for young Australians? #auspol Sky News Australia

Our open letter to the staff of Deakin University University: #RUOKDay2020 #RUOKAYdeakinstaff
So Deakin University’s staff “care package” has a list of yoga poses, including this gem. For the record VC, the 100s of us who’ve lost or are losing jobs would like to be living off a little more than “a prayer”. Like, our actual salaries paid from the Future Fund or executive pay cuts?
In Saturday’s Geelong Advertiser, from a Deakin University staff member. Staff don’t need mug cake and wellness tips. We need secure jobs, working conditions that don’t bleed us dry, university management that doesn’t gaslight us with calls for our “flexibility”.
