Swinburne University has proposed further cuts in response to the economic downturn in higher education, including scrapping the study of all foreign languages by year's end and axing some of its most senior management roles.Swinburne University will cut course content and make 125 to 150 staff redundant in response to the global pandemic.
“The current environment requires the university to make some difficult decisions about where it invests in teaching and research in order to ensure its financial sustainability and deliver on its strategy,” the document said. "We must take immediate action to address our financial sustainability, as well as prepare for the future."It closely follows the release of proposals last month to cut the number of units offered in fields including business, law, science, engineering and technology.
A university spokesperson said the redundancies equated to about 5 per cent of Swinburne’s current workforce.
