Nervous wait at Uni Adelaide

Management’s draft change proposal is imminent

In July, the university announced what would be involved – a review of the academic workforce, transforming five faculties into three and ending 130 professional staff positions (CMM July 9).

People whose positions will go are being advised but Uni Adelaide observers say staff who are staying wonder what will follow for them, whether positions will be merged and created – with new ones at different, some lower, some higher, pay grades than where they are now.

So CMM asked and received the “’Go Away!’ of the Day.” “The University of Adelaide will treat communications with staff and students as its priority. Once we have made announcements to our community, we’ll be in touch with you.”
