The University of NSW and the Australian National University in Canberra will each shed more than 200 full time jobs as the institutions grapple with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their budgets.
ANU vice-chancellor Brian Schmidt announced the job losses on Wednesday as part of an update to staff on the university’s financial position.ANU Vice-Chancellor Brian Schmidt also announced job loses on Wednesday, informing staff the university would need to cut 215 positions in order to save $103 million per year up until 2023.
But he said further savings on salaries were required, and would be achieved through further voluntary separations, with forced redundancies a last resort."This is not a course of action we wanted to take, but it is our only viable option going forward if we want to remain a sustainable, stable university," Professor Schmidt said in the note to staff.
