Solidarity: the antidote to fear. Keynote talk by Damien Cahill on the “trumpification of higher education” at Tertiary Education Union conference in Wellington

Trump administration has barred Harvard University from enrolling international students for the 2025-26 academic year abc.net.au/news/2025-05-2…

More job cuts at ourANU. NTEU slams job losses as cruel and unnecessary. "The cuts are cruel... I worry about the future of the university, and what these cuts will mean for ANU staff and students." - NTEU ANU Branch President Millan Pintos-Lopez canberratimes.com.au/story/8974384/…

No, I’m not ashamed of experiencing homelessness. I’m a proud self-made, mighty woman. I’m not ashamed of having survived horrific child sexual abuse & out-of-home care. Society, especially privileged folk, should be ashamed that homelessness happens in a country like Australia.

More outstanding reporting on the governance bin fire at Australia universities. We need government action as university chancellors and vice chancellors continue to fail to get their houses in order.

Many humanities / social sciences based Fields of Research struggle to generate external income. Does KPMG really know the nuances of this?

KPMG are performing "calculations required to determine the teaching hours" and running AI models over course descriptions for "potential consolidation”.

“There are absolutely no management KPIs or bonuses linked to any benchmark that is related to students’ satisfaction with the classes. The idea that UTS plans to make teaching even cheaper is absolutely appalling,” satpa.pe/1gIQWQU

"the $43 million spend on external consultants alone in 2023 represents almost half the required structural savings the university says it now needs."

The C-Suite - the collective name for all of those jobs starting with 'Chief' - keeps expanding (on exorbitant salaries) in universities. What skill-sets are we paying for? They've effectively outsourced their own jobs to consultants but keep cashing their pay cheques. NTEU

RMIT decommissioning this loom is a striking symbol of the crisis in higher education. Appalling, short-sighted management decisions that destroy precious knowledge and teaching. All of society suffers as a result.

Alison Barnes The rescue by staff is also a striking symbol. Staff and students as the last line of defence, to try to protect what remains after our masters have looted and destroyed.

Doom and loom at RMIT: “a perfect snapshot” of the way higher education treats fine arts and crafts (and staff, and students, and education, and probably everything else too!). theguardian.com/australia-news… #HigherEducation #universities

"The contents of this review are shocking and paint a picture of widespread institutional failure... This stems from poor leadership and governance." - NTEU ACT Division Secretary Dr Lachlan Clohesy on ourANU release of Nixon Review. canberratimes.com.au/story/8976841/…

Behind these job losses are people - they are not just a number. They are valued colleagues & close friends. They did not deserve to be treated like this. Whilst some wished to go, others did not. 🥺

Are you being watched at work? A new Victorian parliamentary committee report calls for new laws and tougher #WorkplaceSurveillance controls. Analysis by NTEU's Joo-Cheong Tham and colleagues: theconversation.com/being-monitore… #HigherEd #auspol #Auspol2025

Hunt them down? That sounds very familiar. I can't quite place where I've heard that sort of language before, but it definitely rings a Bell...

The warped priorities of Wollongong Uni management. The uni is meant to be run to benefit the Illawarra community, but instead money is funnelled to consultants while hard working staff are sacked. Disgusting. NTEU

More bad management and wastage on consultants at our #universities... Join our push to keep the government to its promise for sector-wide governance reform. Support our agenda for change: betterunis.nteu.au #HigherEducation #HigherEd NTEU
