@jennaprice.bsky.social is on the money with this article On rife bullying in our universities: “This has led to a climate of fear where academics see terrible decisions being made to curriculum but have no power to speak up for fear of reprisals.” www.smh.com.au/national/uni...

@jennaprice.bsky.social writes about UTS, MQ & higher ed in general. In the discipline I teach, Politics&IR, we are losing half our units &staff despite strong student #s and growth. Other disciplines face cuts. Diversity is under attack. Student options reduced and PhDs will lose supervisors. see👇

Politics, Sociology, Ancient History, majors in Media, Music may be decimated @ MQ. 4/8 Politics staff with no more Politics units. 11/14 Sociologists to be axed. Ancient History recently the jewel in the MQ crown is being destroyed. This is beyond save Arts & SS @ MQ. Thank you @auspsa.bsky.social

APSA is deeply concerned about the proposed cuts to Politics and International Relations at Macquarie University. Our letter to university leadership outlines the discipline’s outstanding research, strong teaching record, and impact. 📄 Read the full letter here: auspsa.org.au/job-alert/ap....
