Australian Greens Education spokesperson Senator Mehreen Faruqi has said that a\u00a0new report by the Centre for Future Work<\/a>\u00a0estimating 40,000 job losses is a devastating exposure of the extent of the insecure work crisis in higher education.
\nSenator Faruqi said:
\n\u201cTens of thousands of job losses amount to nothing less than complete decimation of large parts of our tertiary education sector.
\n\u201cWorkers at our universities and TAFEs have been completely hung out to dry by an uncaring government and, more often than not, neoliberal management.
\n\u201cMorale across tertiary education is at historic lows. This is in no small part due to casualisation and insecure work, which is rife in higher education and must be combatted.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s hard to separate this devastation from the Liberals\u2019 thinly-veiled contempt for tertiary education, and universities in particular.
\n\u201cNot only were universities excluded from JobKeeper, they were targeted by the so-called \u2018Job-ready Graduates\u2019 fee hikes and funding cuts. The consequences of this are now being felt across the country.
\n\u201cThis is having devastating impacts for university staff, students and education now, and the reverberations will be felt for decades to come unless the government provides the investment needed to support and advance the sector. \u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
