No new bad news on jobs (for once)

The hackery was busy yesterday reporting staff cuts

It culminated last night in an “exclusive report” that Monash U will cut 277 jobs.

Cue conniptions among staff who feared a fresh hell of redundancies to come. They can relax. A Monash U spokesperson confirmed that the 277 jobs the yarn referred to is the total VC Margaret Gardner announced a month ago, not new ones (CMM June 11).
