First student support, now it’s the learning portfolio

LT U is restructuring the Student support and administration portfolio, with plans out for consultation and implementation due early August (CMM yesterday). The Education portfolio is also set for change, “part of a strategy to significantly improve our offer.” A proposed structure went to staff yesterday, with comments required by month end.

The university says both sets of changes are outside the COVID-19 job protection framework staff have agreed to, but it will, “avoid compulsory redundancies where we can.”

However CMM understand that management and the campus branch of the National Tertiary Education Union agree that staff changes will be dealt with according to the COVID-19 Temporary Measures agreement.
