ANU members of the National Tertiary Education Union meet tomorrow to decide its position on the university’s savings proposals

Vice Chancellor Brian Schmidt proposes a VR scheme and for staff to give up the Enterprise Agreement pay-rise due next month. He says savings are needed because ANU will be down $100m this year and $150m next (CMM May 28).

However, the NTEU meeting will vote on motions to oppose wage freezes, course cuts and job reductions and for a no vote to any management plan to vary the enterprise agreement to accomplish such things.
