FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The tertiary education union has welcomed the Australian National University (ANU)’s decision to find budget savings without forcing redundancies.
Last month vice-chancellor Ian Young said the university needed to find $40 million in savings to put it back on a strong financial footing.
About $25 million of this was to come from staff expenses.
The union said this was the equivalent of 150 jobs being cut.
On Monday, Professor Young said the university would start a two-year program to get rid of administrative duplication and improve its business processes.
While some staff may have to be retrained or given jobs in different areas, Professor Young said that any job losses would likely be through natural attrition.
“Redundancy may still be necessary but we would aim to explore other processes where feasible,” he said in a statement.
He said the National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) had been constructive during his consultation on how to find the savings.
ACT union secretary Stephen Darwin said the backdown was a “wise step”.
“Now is time for the vice-chancellor to re-engage with the university’s staff and students to explore constructive strategies aimed at enhancing and expanding what the ANU can achieve,” he said in a statement.
