Uni Newcastle creates a breathing space for staff and students

Staff are already getting the Tuesday after Easter off and now Vice Chancellor Alex Zelinsky adds the rest of that week as special paid leave. The university will also be off the following week, which workers will have to use their holidays to cover. Only staff working on course content for on-line delivery and people in critical functions are on-duty for April 20-24. Staff with not enough accrued leave will get the time in advance.

Professor Zelinsky acknowledges not all staff will welcome the delay to the start of next semester but, “I hope most of you will see it as an opportunity to pause, rest and restore.”
