Do you work at UTS? We want to know about the impact that cost cutting is having on the quality of education at UTS and the livelihoods of those who work here. Answers will be kept anonymous #highereducation

To the 2021 old boy of Redfield College from a prominent family who threatened my safety on social media ahead of our investigation into his alma ahead of tonight’s 4 Corners, police are investigating. You cannot threaten women. Enough. I trust the school will assist @nswpolice.

[Nina Funnell, Journalist & Survivor advocate🎗️ @ninafunnell]

I am so proud to stand with these brave young women and their amazing parents.

So if you’re wondering how NTEU National Council is going… The Victorian Div Sec @sarahecroberts has quietly moved an amendment which guts all opposition to gender critical TERFs from our QUTE Motion: The motion unanimously endorsed two years running by our entire queer caucus.

@TereseMarieM why are so many of the replies & qrt “i can excuse jco’s racism, ableism, misogyny, & victim blaming, but i draw the line at making a joke that jco is a ‘non-hottie’?” like are y’all not embarrassed?

[Annie Schulte @annieschulte]

It was not my intent to personally gain from this post. I just wanted you to know that fear-mongering politics have no place in our school system. Leave the kids out of your petty rumor mill. They already deal with enough drama.

[Annie Schulte @annieschulte]

I truly appreciate everyone’s concern. Some of you have reached out, offering financial support. First and foremost, you should contribute to politicians in your state that aren’t trying to defund public schools and mental health programs.

[Annie Schulte @annieschulte]

I’m sitting in the ICU because my kid just tried to end her life for the 3rd time in 2 years. Ask me if I care about banning books and pride flags. Ask me if I care about litter boxes that don’t exist at school. I just want my kid to survive long enough to graduate. That’s all.

[A New NTEU @ANewNTEU]

Something unprecedented is happening in the NTEU - for the first time ever, rank-and-file workers are contesting the National Executive in the national elections! Our ticket, A New NTEU, is challenging the current leadership for change we desperately need in the NTEU.

[Nick Riemer @NickRiemer1]

The @westernsydneyu casual conversion deal should reset EA negotiations everywhere. Long-term casuals deserve ongoing teaching & research jobs. @Sydney_Uni can easily afford smth even better. Our @NTEUNSW branch will keep campaigning till @mscott meets his responsibilities.

[Hugh Humphreys @hugh_h]

Imagine being an LGBTQIA+ Sea Eagles fan this week. The joy of supporting the first club to wear a pride jersey, only to find out that half your first grade team thinks you shouldn’t be included in their sport. Devastating.

[Damien Cahill @DamienCahill8]

BREAKING: @NTEUnion members at @Uni_Newcastle have just won their ballot for protected industrial action. 97% support for industrial action for secure jobs, workload regulation, WFH rights, gender affirmation leave, fair pay rise. ✊✊✊❤️❤️❤️

[UTSEducationActivistNetwork @UTS_EAN]

UTS staff: Our workloads are unsustainable. Our mental & physical health as well as teaching & research are suffering. Please stop cutting jobs and instead hire more people

UTS management: Can we instead interest you in workload planning tools?

[Ben Abraham || AfterClimate @afterclimate]

UTS VC's town hall just now announced projected *further* job losses in 2021 of 100-150 staff. Areas targeted for restructuring? Business. Eng & IT. Science. ITS STEM CUTS. GREAT JOB TEHAN!

[Casualised, Unemployed & Precarious Uni Workers AU @CUPUWorkers]

Push back hard on casuals' loss of email access. Your colleagues will back you. Many Unis have tried and failed to do this before.

This is just a kick in the teeth for those university staff who lost their jobs in the COVID-19 crisis. @NTEUNational @NTEUVictoria 1/3
