The Australian National University is asking staff to forgo an agreed pay rise – a request the union says will do nothing to stave off a potential 638 job cuts and only reveals the chancellery’s “complete mismanagement and delusion”.
The vice-chancellor of ANU, Prof Genevieve Bell, sent an email to all university staff on Tuesday which asked them “to consider forgoing the upcoming 2.5% December pay increase under the ANU enterprise agreement [EA]”.
