Educators and Students Oppose Assault on Australian University Jobs
Educators and students are speaking out against the pro-business, militarist assault on Australian university jobs.
"At university, they push us to attract industry funds, and they do not encourage critical thinking in students. It shouldn't be about job training all the time!”
The Committee for Public Education (CFPE) and the International Youth and Students for Social Equality (IYSSE) held a public meeting to oppose mass job cuts at Australian universities and the broader assault on public education. The meeting highlighted the destruction of 3,500 jobs at universities across the country over the past 10 months, with many more slated to be axed.
- 3,500 jobs destroyed at universities in 10 months
- Further job cuts expected
- Transformation of the sector to serve corporate and military interests
The speakers placed this offensive in its global context, noting that it is part of a broader transformation of the education sector.
