Staff at La Trobe University have been told the university will shed another 250 to 300 full-time equivalent jobs this year, potentially taking the total number of lost jobs at the beleaguered institution past 500.
“I don’t think they’re right obviously, but we have to get better at addressing those perceptions,” he said. Staff took pay cuts of 5 to 10 per cent, saving an estimated 225 jobs last year, although 239 staff took voluntary redundancy. La Trobe faces a revenue downturn of about $170 million this year, compared with its pre-COVID projections.
He also told staff the university had been relatively unsuccessful in attracting fee-paying postgraduate students in recent years, and would look to “reconfigure” course offerings and build closer links with TAFEs.
