Southern Cross University staff told have been told: 'We are not returning — we never will return — to the way we were before COVID-19 struck.'
Southern Cross University has told its staff the institution is facing an "economic crisis" with the coronavirus acting as an "accelerant" on a fire that has been burning for more than a decade.
"Our scale is too small, we often incentivise the wrong outcomes, we are drowning in complexity and our attractiveness in the student marketplace is too low." "We projected at least a $15 million core funding gap for this year — 2020. The latest projections are that we must bridge a further, additional core budget deficit as high as $43 million over 2021–2022."That is mainly due to the pipeline effects of the enormous downturn in international student recruitment which we have all seen.
