The $3m ANU consulting contracts designed to ensure 'profit' began life just 17 days after new VC Geneveive Bell started. Was Council ever told the restructure plans were being designed in haste by a private firm? Council minutes don't suggest so. thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/education…

We now know that the ourANU contacted Nous only 17 days into the VC's tenure, beginning a relationship which led to more than $3m in consultant contracts, and more than 600 FTE gone (so far!). NTEU members have no confidence in ANU leadership. thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/education…

This disgusts me. I almost lack the words. Funding for so many well needed things in the uni, including funding for Indigenous projects and work, is being curtailed, staff were asked to take a pay cut — meanwhile our senior leadership was/is living it up in Davos. Disgraceful.

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/…

Staff, students, and alumni are understandably proud of their association with ourANU. So many of them have contacted me with grave concern about the destructive impact the current leadership is having on the university they love.

“ANU overestimated their 2024 deficit by $60 million and will end up cutting far more than their original target if these changes proceed.” “We expect these plans to contain job cuts in the hundreds.” - NTEU ACT Division Secretary Dr Lachlan Clohesy region.com.au/no-financial-r…

In a report to ourANU Council in late September 2024 (just prior to 'Renew ANU' launching), "savings" of $30m from reducing staff by 140 FTE positions were identified. ANU leadership now saying these don't count toward $100m target - so likely will be $130m & closer to 800 FTE.

Staff at ourANU say enough is enough. NTEU contends there is no financial justification for further job cuts. canberratimes.com.au/story/8980985/…

ANU announced a newly created position of Chief Risk Officer - worth $500k+/yr - in same email it talked up the $50M+ worth of staff cuts via redundancies, another $50M to come. Also same email staff lectured on being respectful talking about job losses, cuts. 🤯 Schadenfreude

I’m completing The Push-Up Challenge to level-up mental health in Australia and would love your help to reach my fundraising target. All funds raised will support much-needed mental health services and initiatives in Australia. thepushupchallenge.com.au/s/538837/74455…

We're expecting hundreds of job losses at ourANU over the next 4 months. The change we need is not in ITS, PSP, or any of the 12 areas expecting job cuts. The change NTEU members need to see is in the Vice-Chancellor's office. abc.net.au/news/2025-06-0…

We've been engaged in a lot of political lobbying and advocacy - we've had good conversations with Australian Labor, Australian Greens and Independents on issues with university governance & higher education. Fantastic David Pocock is putting this event on. I'll be there.
