Former #ANU Vice-Chancellor, Genevieve Bell, will receive remuneration of more than half a million a year for the next five years - despite taking 12 months off.

For context, that's more than ANU hoped to 'save' annually by disestablishing the School of Music. 🫠 @nteunion.bsky.social

One year ago today, ANU staff resoundingly defeated a proposed variation to the ANU Agreement. Union members led this campaign to defend better pay for all ANU staff.

If you're not a member, we need you with us to take on more and bigger challenges, together. nteu.au/join

A great opportunity to benchmark psychosocial health across all universities is the Australian University Census on Staff Wellbeing.
