Ian Prager and Amelia Dale are #ANU staff and @nteunion.bsky.social ANU Vice-Presidents. They reject claims that TEQSA's intervention undermines university autonomy. Staff & students *are* the university, and they'd lost confidence in Julie Bishop & ANU Council. www.crikey.com.au/2026/05/28/a...
crikey.com.au
We work at ANU. Julie Bishop's exit wasn't due to a university losing autonomy — the opposite is true
'The higher education sector' is not boardroom members and chief executives. The sector is staff and students — and we are not 'rattled' at all.
