University of New England management loves a reorganisation, but staff not so much. The three faculty structure adopted in August did not go down well with all staff  (CMM October 9 2017) and now union members are not happy with a proposed academic workload policy for the faculty of humanities, arts, social sciences and education.

The campus branch of the National Tertiary Education Union took the matter to Fair Work Australia, which decided on Thursday that the new workload policy could not apply unless HASSE staff vote to approve it. Until that happens (and it may not) the old constituent school workload policies continue.
