More massive staff cuts at Macquarie University
Professional and Academic staff members to lose jobs ahead of 2021 academic year.
Macquarie University has called for $50 million worth of redundancies coming into 2021.
A briefing paper released by the university revealed cuts worth $25 million to professional and academic staff, respectively. University management was unable to confirm how many staff will be affected.
This is on top of 300 requested voluntary redundancies earlier this year. The university will likely move to forced redundancies in early 2021 if there are insufficient volunteers. Faculties will determine forced redundancies by recent staff performance in conjunction with a two-page statement submitted by the individual.
