“Many had high hopes for Bill Shorten as vice-chancellor and we’re disappointed it has come to this.” #UniCanberra staff "deserve much better than for excessive workloads to turn UC into Shorten’s sweatshop." @nteunion.bsky.social members at UC are standing up. ✊ region.com.au/disappointed...

Teachers: "Please help us get AI out of schools, it's ruining education!" Students: "Please don't make us use AI, it's ruining our lives!" Politicians: "We hear you and we want to help you harness the power of AI." #NihilismAndTechnology

"I was an elected staff member of the ANU Council — the university’s overarching governing body — but the leadership’s unwillingness to listen to the concerns of staff and students prompted me to resign due to a lack of confidence." - @drdemography.com on #ANU www.crikey.com.au/2025/05/28/a...

As an ANU employee, I call on the government to investigate the university
Universities are no longer fit-for-purpose, and the ANU is leading the charge.

@nteunion.bsky.social @nteuact.bsky.social The reputation of ANU is being dragged through the mire by the VC and Chancellor and staff are paying the price. Prolonged change is a mental health disaster for those who work there. @davidpocock.bsky.social is right.

President Trump has no place imposing his ideologies on Australian researchers. This is an insidious intervention in Australia’s national sovereignty that runs contrary to fundamental principles of free speech, academic integrity and robust, evidence-based research. www.afr.com/world/north-...
