Swinburne University has warned staff to brace for job losses as it faces a deficit of more than $150 million due to a reduction in overseas students caused by the coronavirus crisis.
"As a result of COVID-19, Monash has faced its largest annual reductions in revenue in the university’s history, and it is likely that next year will be worse," vice-chancellor Margaret Gardner said. Swinburne projects a deficit of $51 million this year, followed by further losses totalling $101 million in 2021 and 2022.
More than 120 Deakin employees signed a letter to vice-chancellor Iain Martin condemning the “disturbing and insulting” way redundancies are being handled. Staff in non-academic positions have been heavily targeted in the cuts. For example, 45 of 310 positions at Deakin’s “global engagement” portfolio, which promotes the university to the world, will be slashed. Forty-five “E-solutions” jobs and 34 jobs in infrastructure and property will go.
Well deserved when you allow racist to go unpunished as well. I'm sure the negative reviews are making overseas students think twice now about studying in a country they cannot feel safe.
This is what happens when you sell out knowledge and run universities like businesses- let them suffer
Plenty of jobs on the internet for ex uni workers........Tech apps on the internet in their 100s. Enjoy the experience.
