Bishop needs to go as well. There is no sensible governance arrangement where she gets to lead appointing a new VC. A new Chancellor / Chair and then a deep breath followed by a proper process to appoint a new VC / CEO needed. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

The @ourANU Dean of CASS has cited a $250m operational deficit as justification for cuts.
However, Renew ANU was based on a $200m deficit. And that was wrong - it was really $140m.
@NTEUnion has no confidence that ANU is across the numbers.

Hi everyone! I'm Stacey, a bioarchaeologist currently based at the Australian National University. My major research foci are the relationships between health and inequality in ancient Thailand and bioarchaeology education, and I also dabble in spatial analysis. Looking forward to meeting you all 😀
