A great opportunity to benchmark psychosocial health across all universities is the Australian University Census on Staff Wellbeing.

@nteunion.bsky.social's Gabe Gooding (and 🐕🐕) explains why it's important, and how you can help.

We're calling on #ANU to clarify what is actually going on.

While palace intrigues go on behind closed doors in Chancelry, more than 100 staff are still facing forced redundancies.

The VC's leadership is untenable.
