In a change proposal released on 17th September, the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) announced plans to cut 1,100 subjects and at least 134 full-time jobs.
On 2nd September, Safework NSW had ordered UTS to suspend job cuts, on account of “serious and imminent risk of psychological harm” to staff.
This suspension has since been lifted, allowing UTS to move forward with axing jobs.
“We also gave viable alternatives to job and course cuts, but UTS management have dismissed our suggestions.”As part of the change proposal, UTS will undergo a consultation period until 15th October.
UTS student Ella Murphy told Honi “There has been little transparency over the budget and course cuts, and the information that has been provided is to inform us after change has occurred.
