The cancellation of Maths&Stats, Physics, Chemistry and other STEM majors continues to be to the detriment of Murdoch students and does not "contribute to the development and improvement of tertiary education to meet the needs of the community". https://t.co/UA8BUEsyJR
One of the disastrous consequences of finance-driven top-down university management is that it has become possible for a group of mediocre ex-scholars to destroy in months what has been built up over decades by first class intellects
This sign insults me every time I’m at the train station, which is a lot.
Go to @MurdochUni and be ready for anything! Except math. Or physics. Or engineering. Or chemistry... I guess false advertising is just another thing #EevaLeinonen can add to her list of achievements
Most staff don’t even know if they will have a job next year. In the last 12 months the math department at @MurdochUni has lost about 5 academic staff because of the bullshit pulled by #EevaLeinonen. It will take years (if not decades) to rebuild.
Oh the irony. The “esteemed” VC of @MurdochUni#EevaLeinonen is giving me a fancy piece of paper in recognition of my “academic excellence”. I guess that’s why she canned my degree & trashed my options for honours? So much for supporting #WomenInSTEM ...
I’ve investigated changing University but it’s means starting from scratch with staff I don’t know who do research in a field I’m not familiar with. I want to do research with the faculty at @MurdochUni but there’s literally no program for me to enrol in.
For the first time, more than one woman has been nominated to win an Oscar for Best Director. Congratulations to Chloé Zhao and Emerald Fennell! It only took nearly 100 years.
Can you believe this bullshit from @MurdochUni ? VC crippled the boat and now they’re jumping ship. I hope @MaynoothUni isn’t attached to STEM or research or “top 100 young Universities” because #eevaleinonen sure isn’t. Murdoch was in the #50under50...
And there won’t be any international or post-grad students to pick up the slack - not when the uni rips the rug out from under your visa or tells your research supervisor they can’t apply for research funding anymore.
The Governing Authority of Maynooth University today appointed Professor Eeva Leinonen to be its next President effective from 1 October 2021.
