“I would encourage the ANU leadership to reflect on the gravity of this situation and the steps they must now take to restore public confidence.” - David Pocock Well done on standing with NTEU members at ourANU. ✊ afr.com/work-and-caree…

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…

ICYMI: Calls for greater transparency and better governance at ourANU. NTEU members have had to rely on FOI and media leaks for information about whether they're likely to lose their jobs. canberratimes.com.au/story/8959415/…

It's worth remembering that last year ourANU staff end of year parties got cancelled - oh, and that ANU leadership asked staff to give up their pay rise... No wonder NTEU members have no confidence in ANU leadership. afr.com/policy/health-…

🟣🟣🟣 VOTING CLOSES TODAY 🟣🟣🟣 Vote for Dr Francis Markham, NTEU endorsed candidate for ourANU Council. Please note voting for this position is open to fixed-term, CCF and continuing academic staff with teaching responsibilities. Vote here: apollo.anu.edu.au/apollo/default…

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/…

“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.

In this paper from ourANU Council in February 2025, $57.9m in "savings" identified. Is the redacted part the $30m saved in Jan-Sep 2024? Or the 29% reduction in casual spending? Too early to be the $29m from voluntary separations... Or future cuts decided but not announced?

"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/…

"The part that still infuriates me to this day is that senior staff were aware of some of these behaviours, and they did nothing." - Quote from Nixon Review at ourANU. NTEU stands for better leadership and governance. afr.com/work-and-caree…

"ANU has a remarkable tolerance for poor behaviour and bullying." - ourANU Nixon Review. "It is important that the university's words are now followed up with actions." - NTEU abc.net.au/news/2025-05-2…

"I was an elected staff member of the ANU Council — the university’s overarching governing body — but the leadership’s unwillingness to listen to the concerns of staff and students prompted me to resign due to a lack of confidence." - Dr Liz Allen crikey.com.au/2025/05/28/aus…

“The report lays bare inaction for many years, including under the former Vice-Chancellor Brian Schmidt and for the entirety of Julie Bishop’s term as Chancellor.” - NTEU ACT Division Secretary Dr Lachlan Clohesy theaustralian.com.au/higher-educati…

These are longstanding issues at ourANU that don't just relate to the tenure of the current VC Genevieve Bell but also the former VC Brian Schmidt. ANU Council Chair, Chancellor Julie Bishop, has been responsible for governance & oversight since 2020. canberratimes.com.au/story/8978511/…

"They certainly need to be doing more to get their houses in order in terms of 21st century culture. What has been going on at the ANU is simply unacceptable for a publicly funded university." canberratimes.com.au/story/8979864/…

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

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…
