Fitting people into new Western Sydney U structure

Western Sydney U is restructuring schools – they like a restructure at WSU 

Back in March, VC Barney Glover announced three schools are going *science and health, * social sciences and psychology, as well as * computing, engineering and maths (CMM March 13).

Observers of IR at WSU say management is working as required by the change process bits of the enterprise bargaining manual. However, some people are puzzled by where the plan assumes existing positions are based, not always where they actually are and what this means under the replacement structure which takes staff from the existing schools and moves them into new ones, * health sciences, * science, * social sciences, * psychology, * built environment, architecture and industrial design, *computing, maths, stats and data science, and *engineering.

There are also said to be issues with proposed roles for student-focused professional staff in the new structure and where some academics will fit.

WSUers have to Thursday to respond to the proposed staff changes.

Schools that continue unchanged are, * education, * medicine, * law, * humanities-communication arts, * nursing- midwifery and * business.
