As you read this, the Vice-Chancellor and her leadership team are finalising their lists of names for the first round of forced redundancies.
On Monday 8 December, an unknown number of VU Staff will each receive an invitation to a meeting with our supervisor.
It has become apparent, however, that the likely targeted redundancies will fall well short of the projected 150 academic redundancies that management appeared to want, again because they are finding it difficult to match staff with unprofitable units.
Further retrenchments of General Staff and TAFE staff will occur in the New Year. The University has also announced that in addition to range of further strategies to reduce the number of targeted redundancies for Academic staff.
A voluntary redundancy program will be announced. This represents some mitigation of the targeted retrenchment process which has been put in place; however, targeted redundancies, possibly still in large numbers may occur.
