The University of Technology Sydney fears up to 500 jobs may have to be shed next year amid financial losses of $200 million if Australia remains unable to open a so-called safe corridor for international students.
"With casuals it’s even harder to estimate, they don’t announce anything, they let them go,” NTEU's national president Alison Barnes said.In a letter to staff last week, UTS vice-chancellor Attila Brungs reaffirmed the university would lose up to $60 million this year and had seen an impact on jobs due to reduced teaching load.
After announcing almost 500 job losses, UNSW has begun the redundancy process. In an email to staff in mid-July, Sydney University vice-chancellor Michael Spence said he would give staff an update on what financial conditions mean for the university as soon as he could.
