Which example are we referring to here? Sad that this needs to be narrowed-down.

Currently at the Australian National University.

This is too real.

I’ve been enjoying the AFR articles on the VC. I got out just in time I think.

It’s crazy. I’m expecting a bunch of forced academic redundancies in April/May. I don’t expect her to last a full term, but she will take a lot of others out on the way.

Well she has full confidence of the Chancellor that I’m sure has nothing to do with the contracts for mates or the free travel.

In the UK the University of Dundee is seemingly approaching meltdown.

There’s a cliff next year across UK, it is not going to be pretty. You are going to see a lot of merging, collapses and stuff next year. Brexit really destroyed a lot and now it is really coming home to roost. It was the professors that left first, now the students, nearly 4 years on the dot. It is not a coincidence. I saw the school turn homogenous, and a lot of the life left after Brexit. It was depressing to see so many cool people leave. We got announced that we have to lower internal costs by a third next year (I won’t be here). The US is just a dumpster fire on that front for obvious reasons. From what I hear, unis in Aus are also having trouble. This is a wider problem though.
