We Are The University
@wearetheuniversity.bsky.social
Students and staff are the heart of the university comprised of education, research, and service; it should be led by the staff and students who make that happen. We reclaim the identity that management steals from us. We are the university.

Arts, humanities, and social sciences are under attack. The National Govt, Judith Collins & Shane Reti, are cutting funding, claiming only "economic impact" matters, ignoring impact on housing, inequality, culture, and communities? After all, isn't improving human lives the point of it all anyway?

Cool to see so many influential voices chime up on this issue, including the @royalsocietynz.bsky.social themselves.
Pretty shameful for @judithcollinskc.bsky.social.

Shout out for making it clear this National policy is ideological.

@aucklanduni.bsky.social VC Dawn has emailed staff, she proposes ANOTHER merger: Law-business-econ.

It's crappy for the arts-edu-everything faculty, and it'll be crap for them too!

We have 5 more years of this is cost-cutting-crap.

Today UOA management choose if they commit to course cuts, or follow students, staff, and Senate's request to pause.
We join the staff picket outside the clocktower meeting at 4pm after justice for Palestine rally. This is a chance to show management we wont stand for them cutting our courses!

Great turnout of students and staff at today's strike.

Facing misallocated resources, and challenges to intellectual autonomy, staff rejected real-terms paycuts and the exploitation of staff receiving below living wage. We are the university united against management's fast-track attitude.

Universities rest on the shoulders of students and staff now offered a real-terms paycut by university management.

Students and staff reject the exploitation of our ranks. The TEU and PSA have called a strike to show you the importance of our labour.

Meet 2pm-3:30pm at the UoA General Library.
