Dr. Mehreen Faruqi, Deputy Leader of the Australian Greens and Senator for NSW, has even written an open letter to Education Minister Jason Clare. She notes that the affected staff were never consulted in the formation of the academic change plan, and she calls for “Overhauling governance structures in universities to make them more democratic.” She also wrote a separate open letter to the Vice Chancellor and Deputy Vice Chancellor, calling on them to “withdraw the change management plan and stop these detrimental staff and program cuts.”
