The University of Sydney is urging its staff to apply for the JobKeeper wage subsidy, saying it could help the university reap up to $140 million in funding as it suffers crippling financial losses due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"If the majority of eligible staff complete the nomination form, the University could receive between $100 and $140 million in funding under this scheme," Dr Spence said in an email to eligible staff. Casual staff in particular are in the firing line. Western Sydney University has warned staff it will cut casual workloads next semester, while one third of casuals at the University of NSW have reported losing work.
