“Replacing the ANU vice chancellor is a necessary first step… But it is not a sufficient step… If governance and policy direction doesn’t change, it won’t matter who sits in the vice chancellor’s chair – the outcomes for staff, students and the public will be the same.” www.afr.com/work-and-car...

Taking out the AAEH best book prize for 2025 was @edelemark.bsky.social Congratulations!

The $3m ANU consulting contracts designed to ensure 'profit' began life just 17 days after new VC Geneveive Bell started. Was Council ever told the restructure plans were being designed in haste by a private firm? Council minutes don't suggest so. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/educati...

Well done to all #ANU staff who participated in this. We'll also be announcing the results for the @nteunion.bsky.social Vote of No Confidence in the Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor at 12pm today in Kambri at ANU. Hope to see you there! ✊

It is time for this farce to end. It is time for #ANU Council to act to put the university community before the individual. @nteunion.bsky.social members care deeply about ANU. The Vice-Chancellor is damaging the university and bringing it into disrepute.

No more RSNZ funding for the Humanities or Social Sciences! How can we possibly serve the world of tomorrow if we do not fund the critical thinkers of today? I am so sad. #AcademicSky #History
