And why I am taking industrial action
Katy, stay healthy and thank you for giving us a peak behind the curtain and the bravery to speak out. 👍
Thank you!
Yes, all true. Just got re-elected to the Academic Board by my Business School peers based on this agenda:
I have been a member of the AB since 2021. I believe the AB needs the occasional critical (yet constructive) voice more than ever.
Among the current issues that need urgent attention, and action, are:
-The failure of the University, for 15 months now, to finalize new EAs for faculty and staff
-The failure of the University to adequately address the real-wage losses implied by the current inflation rate
-The failure of the University to adequately address increased workloads
-The failure of the University to deal fairly with casuals (and provide stable working conditions for them)
-The failure of the University to reign in the infringement of academic freedom through top-down EDD interventions. Very demotivating.
-The failure of the University to cut significantly red-tape in procurement issues such as travel arrangements
-The failure of the University to walk its talk regarding trust-based decision making
Consider the above enumeration my agenda.
All I can say is *standing ovation*. I would have voted for you too.
