IT on-track at Uni Adelaide

The IT restructure at the University of Adelaide is on-track

In February Uni Adelaide IT chief Bev Whitfield told staff that a budget shortfall dictated a restructure to “reduce operating expenses”. This included job changes and losses, including an end to 25 fixed-term positions (CMM February 22).

In news that surprised as many as none, the campus branch of the National Tertiary Education Union kicked back, lodging a dispute, stating the plan breached change management provisions of the university’s enterprise agreement.

But all is well, with the union’s issues sorted in a Fair Work Commission conciliation conference. The new structure will begin to roll out at the beginning of May, a month behind the original schedule, which is way better than what a full-scale dispute could have led to.
