ANU colleagues - a second open letter for management. Please consider and share. If it doesn't get as many sign ups as the first one, management will think they have a win. Let them hear us roar. We can't be afraid - silence will not save you docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Changes at ANU are needed for long-term sustainability but there's HUGE concern in the community about how its being handled. The prospect of further job cuts, especially without genuine consultation, will add to existing widespread distress on campus. region.com.au/no-financial...

Nearly 500 signatures and 2 months later and we’re still waiting on the transparency and consultation staff asked for back in March.

Great ep of @techwontsave.us with @parismarx.com interviewing @emilymbender.bsky.social and @alexhanna.bsky.social and their new book The AI Con open.spotify.com/episode/02nc... Great deconstruction of the hype around AI which hides its harms.

Oh good grief. This is what happens when we devalue expertise. Journalists, Librarians, Booksellers, Writers, literally ANYONE WHO READS could have made a real list of real books that actually exist.

Embarrassing mistake or did ANU lift Nous’ work? ANU released a change principles document. Soon after its release Appendix A was quietly replaced online. Accessibility information in the charts reveals screenshots had been used. Are $500k-ANU-execs paying Nous $3M to do their work?

Generative AI has helped me to understand why, in Star Wars, the droids seem to have personalities but are generally bad at whatever they're supposed to be programmed to do, and everyone is tired of their shit and constantly tells them to shut up

We now know that #ANU contacted Nous only 17 days into the VC's tenure, beginning a relationship which led to more than $3m in consultant contracts, and more than 600 FTE gone (so far!). @nteunion.bsky.social members have no confidence in ANU leadership. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/educati...

Huge thanks to WIN News for talking to us about our research on university spending. It's really important that we start to get some proper disclosure about this spending from every university, not just some!

Very grateful for the endorsement by union colleagues to run for the academic representative on ANU Council. And to @drdemography.com for nominating me. Voting opened this morning. If elected, I will advocate fearlessly for academic staff and academic values on Council.

From the first page alone: executive travel at ANU over one-year would pay for NINETY FIVE entry-level lecturers.

"Across 2022 and 2023, the ANU spent more than $71.6 million on travel, over $11 million on advertising and over $107 million on consultants. That $190 million, if saved, would have negated entirely the $100 million cuts to jobs" @joshuablackjb.bsky.social

Revelations that Nous have been paid $1 million+ to design plans to sack staff are part of the reason #ANU staff have no confidence in ANU leadership. They're also why @nteunion.bsky.social says we need university governance reform and greater transparency. www.canberratimes.com.au/story/895411...
