“…the former University of South Australia Vice Chancellor David Lloyd received a total remuneration for the single year of 2025 of $3.112 million.”
It was left to the Vice Chancellor to apologise.#TertiaryEducationWoes #NeoLiberalism #Managerialism is killing our institutions. #AusPol #SAPol

In the same article we learn that each #COllege was given a “tool that was shared with senior staff to tell them how much their school costs or makes [financially]. The university seems to think it’s good enough to be approved for decision-making.”
There, right there! Is the reason our Universities are in trouble and in the news these days. #Bloody minded #NeoLiberal thinking #Managerialism. Expecting #Univerisities to function like #ProfitsAndLoss businesses is not sheer lunacy but utter incompetance from our governing bodies including our govt ministers.
Even running at a loss, our universities produce graduates who return massive increases in #productivity and contributions to the #Economy over time.

Good grief, what a clusterf*^%
“The ICAC inquiry has heard former UOW governance chief Alyssa White celebrated recruiting former colleagues because the university was "broke" before later agreeing recruitment processes were compromised.
Ms White accepted multiple candidates received advantages and agreed she had repeatedly breached university policies and conflicts of interest requirements.”Read more

What the blazes is going on in our #EducationSystem ? Is this another example of #Managerialism going wrong?
“Dr McNeill was appointed CEO in June 2025, but while applying for the role, did not tell the CIT board she was under investigation by TAFE NSW for "serious misconduct".
The controversy sparked the public inquiry, which led to an assembly committee making seven recommendations and 11 findings, including that Dr McNeill should have disclosed the information about the misconduct investigation to the CIT board in a timely manner.
Dr McNeill told the committee that she had sought to disclose the investigation to CIT during the recruitment process but had been advised on multiple occasions, both verbally and in writing, by TAFE NSW that she was not permitted to do so. “

Is there anything else required to convince everyone that the issue and the problems with ANU’s alleged financial troubles is anything but financial trouble?
Squarely, this misapprehension is a direct result of #Mismanagement and #AccrualAccounting neither of which ought to be experienced by an education institution.
Time for the #Education #Minister Jason Clare to dismiss the council outright and implement the recommended fixes that were commended to him Including scrapping the #JobReadyGraduate #Morrison crap!
“If we believe the auditor, there is no crisis at the ANU. To be clear, as a government owned, not-for-profit entity, the ANU is under no pressure to maximise its profits so that it can maximise dividends paid to shareholders. On the contrary, when the ANU made a surplus of $89.9 million in 2024 it did so by spending less money on its students, staff and community than it received.” (Source: The Australian Institute)

TIL: the ANU is awash with #CASH:
“But here is the paradox: while education and staffing were cut, ANU’s financial wealth kept growing. By 2023, the university held over $2B in financial assets and recorded $3.4B in total net assets. It continued to run cash surpluses despite reporting accrual accounting deficits”AND that the financial crisis making the news and resulting in over 450 staff losses and plans to close some faculties are a direct result of the application of accrual accounting. This is an accounting practice that is necessary to run a business responsible to shareholders — but CANNOT be applied to education institutions which have a different raison d’etre and report to society (via parliaments).
#Managerialism and #NeoClassicEconomics responsible for the #FailedGovernance of ANU is made worse by the #Council’s use of ANU funds in speculative and #RealEstate investments partly funded by borrowings (Debt). These #NeoLiberal Council forays in #Productivism and #Capitalism are NOT core business to Universities. Not only is this the Absolutely Wrong Governance model to run a Uni, but it is currently grossly #Mismanaged and noone is taking responsibility for this, least of all #JulieBishop the #Chancellor of ANU.
Take a break and read the article, it is well written and explains much of what is going on. Furthermore, it provides the reasons why #Bishop should go and a sorely needed change to #Governance processes and responsibilities. If #JasonClaiMP can’t see this he’s a #FailedMinister
