Just found out that I'm blocked by both @utslibrary and @UTS_Innovation

I'll take that as a badge of honour. #YouCantHandleTheTruth

And, here we have Attila Brungs, who heads UTS, one of the most China-compromised universities in Australia, leading the China Matters discussion on "How should Australia deal with PRC-US strategic technological competition?"

@spunkyfuzzguts @UTSEngage Because it is very lucrative. Is that not obvious?

[UTS DVC (Parody) @UTS_DVC_Parody]

@SAlexander_UTS @alejandroa Are they proud of being the 116th best university in the UK?

[UTS DVC (Parody) @UTS_DVC_Parody]

@SAlexander_UTS Seven towers?

If they had been built, would all seven now be filled with unhelpful, unnecessary, bullying, demoralising bureaucrats who have no business being anywhere near a university? Or would we still only have the one tower stuffed full with those?

@RealGrammarMan @UTSEngage @DrVictoriaClout An alumni? Uuurrrggghhh

The only thing worse than pretentious overuse of Latin is pretentious overuse of Latin when you can't even get it right.

Is it too much to expect whoever writes this fluff for the front page of the website to have a basic grasp of English?

At @UTSEngage it is.

"Led" not "Lead"

@UTSEngage can you tell us why UTS gave Yueqiong Fu, who went on to kill someone with incorrect anaesthetic, a nursing degree--when she couldn't even pass an English test? Really keen to know, in light of this @4corners investigation? https://t.co/g8oqyolinr #cashcows #4corners

@RealGrammarMan Learning designers? Or Learning technologists?

Its already March but we’ve only had 3 new associate Deans. What happened to proactive change??

Brave thread from an Aussie academic https://t.co/fNkBIkkiAb

[Associate Deans @ass_deans]

You know the difference between $100,000 in carryover funds versus $100,000 deposited in your bank? If I steal the money in your bank, it's insured! Thanks for not spending your budget to $0. Also, we’ll be cutting your budget next year since you didn’t need it.

@DVCEdDeakin @Jisc Lectures are not perfect, but they are cost effective.

Without such cost savings, how else would we DVCs be able to draw many hundreds of thousands of dollars per year from the university?

[UTS DVC (Parody) @UTS_DVC_Parody]

@RealGrammarMan Nothing added to plain text box. Don't want to be (mis)quoted on any opinions.

Did you look at the faculty-by-faculty response rates? The untouchable golden child which unjustly & unaccountably siphons money from all others had the highest response rate. #Depressing #Predictable

Second year in a row! Shittiest university learning experience in NSW.

@f_m_brooks @UTSResearch @UTSHealth @peter_scott If this is true, why do we keep appointing major researchers on sweetheart deals, promising they'll never even have to see an undergraduate student?

At the same time, why do we have an ever increasing army of unsecured casuals doing all teaching and no research?

[UTS DVC (Parody) @UTS_DVC_Parody]

@Madelynlines @UTSFass @UTSMarketing So comfortably BELOW the rate of inflation?

In real terms, that's quite a paycut.

[UTS DVC (Parody) @UTS_DVC_Parody]

@Phil_Baty @timeshighered Really?

Several of my papers have been stolen, blatantly plagiarised and republished by Chinese "researchers". I've never once had any of my work stolen, plagiarised or republished by US researchers.

[Richard Holmes @universities06]

According to THE top university in the world for research impact is
Babol Noshirvani University of Technology
Then we have
2. Brighton and Sussex Medical School
5. Reykjavik University
9. Oregon Health and Science University
15. St Georges, London

[Charles Oppenheim @CharlesOppenh]

Now one University after another is on my timeline rejoicing at its wonderful position in the newly released @timeshighered ranking lists. Just as bad as journals crowing about their Impact Factors. No excuse for either.

[UTS DVC (Parody) @UTS_DVC_Parody]

@UTSfutures Who paid for all of these roses? Why? So staff could giggle along like children?

Shouldn't the university be spending public money on actual academic work?
