The ANAO Report on #ANU is out.
It is scathing.
1️⃣ Fix ANU Governance
2️⃣ Repeal Job Ready Graduates
3️⃣ No University - anywhere - should be able to pursue mass job cuts without independent auditing.

Ian Prager and Amelia Dale are #ANU staff and @nteunion.bsky.social ANU Vice-Presidents. They reject claims that TEQSA's intervention undermines university autonomy.
Staff & students *are* the university, and they'd lost confidence in Julie Bishop & ANU Council.

"It's not enough just to change the bums in the seats, we actually need to change the structure of how ANU is governed overall."
@nteunion.bsky.social's @lachlanclohesy.bsky.social on #ANU.
Yesterday we received a salary offer from #UniCanberra.
If you're a UC staff member, we'd love to hear from you. We're opening a survey to all UC staff, including @nteunion.bsky.social members and those yet to join.
You can let us know what you think at nteu.info/ucsalarysurv....
Bargaining progresses at #UniCanberra at a 🐌 pace.
And 🦗 get a mention too!
We need to see more from UC Leadership in terms of valuing, supporting and respecting UC staff.
To make sure we get the improvements we need, join @nteunion.bsky.social today at www.nteu.au/join. ✊
'The higher education sector' is not boardroom members and chief executives. The sector is staff and students — and we are not 'rattled' at all.

Today, union members at #ANU unanimously endorsed claims on healthy workloads, better job security, fair pay and more that the @nteunion.bsky.social will take to the bargaining table later this year.
To win the working conditions you deserve, join NTEU today at www.nteu.au/join! ✊
The acting chancellor of the Australian National University confirms four more members of the university council have resigned, following last week's exit of former chancellor Julie Bishop.
Unfortunately, the case of #ANU exposes as myth the notion that corporate appointments are needed to ensure universities are well run.
We need staff and student oversight, and @nteunion.bsky.social will stand up for it.
That will need reform of the ANU Act.

“Many had high hopes for Bill Shorten as vice-chancellor and we’re disappointed it has come to this.”
#UniCanberra staff "deserve much better than for excessive workloads to turn UC into Shorten’s sweatshop."
@nteunion.bsky.social members at UC are standing up. ✊

A group of Julie Bishop loyalists have quit the ANU’s governing body following the former chancellor’s departure.
