From the article:
* The first large-scale slashing of university staff numbers has begun at Australia’s largest university. The University of New South Wales (UNSW) informed its workforce on 15 July that nearly 500 full-time positions would disappear because of a AU$370 million (US$259 million) budget shortfall.
* The National Tertiary Education Union attacked the government for not extending its ‘JobKeeper’ scheme to the university sector so that staff would not be laid off.
