RMIT University Student Union

RUSU is RMIT University's ONLY student run organisation. We run student life at RMIT - clubs and societies, parties, safe spaces, student rights.

The Respect At Work Bill will not wait! The bill must support all of the report recommendations. Women deserve a safe workplace – No more lip service!

We've won a case in the NSW Supreme Court, defending the rights of members to hold covid-safe protests against higher education cuts #UnionWin #RightToProtest

You know what's not trendy?

Making it harder for poor people to go to university.

In mid-2018, I initiated a project by @RMIT Library, @RMITArchives and @RMITSU to digitise their student publication @rmitcatalyst. Now, I'm incredibly proud to announce that this historic collection, spanning 1944-2020, is available to read online.

Good morning to everyone except the 16 members of the Morrison Government who went to uni for free but are now hiking fees 😊

[David Brophy @Dave_Brophy]

Yesterday I had 20+ students in a room for a tutorial. But today, Michael Spence call the riot squad onto campus to shut down a rally against fee hikes, on the grounds that it exceeded the 20 person limit. "Let's pick 'em off one by one" was what I heard one of the cops say.

[Oscar🇵🇸 @RoterOscar]

Universities should be run for human need, not the interests of big business, and be fully funded by the government! #nofeehikes #studentfightback #killthebill #auspol #taxthefuckingrich

Today is the National Union of Students' protest against Liberal attacks on education.

[RMIT University Student Union @RMITSU]

Today on the National Day of Action against fee hikes and uni cuts, we call on leaders to vote NO to fee hikes, NO to funding cuts for higher education and YES to protecting HECS/HELP for students who are struggling. Protect our right to education #NoFeeHikes #KillTheBill

[RMIT University Student Union @RMITSU]

Huge funding cuts to uni courses are coming. Fee hikes are also on the horizon for many students. RUSU and the NUS strongly oppose these cuts and fee hikes. Show your support by liking and sharing our statement. #NoFeeHikes #KillTheBill #StudentFightBack

[Solidarity @soli_aus]

Hundreds of students marched in Sydney on Saturday protesting Scomo's uni fee hike.

The Liberals just announced $270 billion in military spending. This gargantuan sum could literally fund free uni for decades.

[The Swanston Gazette @Swanstongazette]

.@RMITSU have renewed calls for fee reductions and fairer fee structures during online learning. This comes after an open letter from @RMIT Vice-Chancellor Martin Bean said the university would not support any reductions in student fees. By @YoussefSaudie.

[NUS Welfare Department @NUS_Welfare]

Very disturbing research just published by @IPPGatUTS on the realities international students now face:

- 61% have lost their job
- One third don’t eat “quite often” to pay rent
- 21% fear becoming homeless
- 44% don’t think they can pay tuition

Makes me sick to my stomach.

[Felix Hughes @NUS_President]

Our statement on today's announcement that students will lose taxpayer support upon poor performance in their study. This is an abhorrent attack on students that incentivizes success through fear. Read more below #HigherEducation #auspol
