Deakin Students say NO to Uni Cuts!
Join Deakin University Student Association (DUSA) and the National Tertiary Education Union - NTEU in this day of action, ensuring that students get the education and services they deserve!
Due to the impact of Covid-19, Deakin have already begun cutting hard-working professionals from a range of departments, and now they’re considering cutting more, including positions held by students. SHAME!
Cuts to staff, a drop in the quality of services, and students being burdened with the responsibility of COVID-19, have an immense impact on the learning outcomes of students. Additionally, poor outcomes for university staff always has and always will lead to poor outcomes for students.
While we continue to meet with University executives, we need your help to show Deakin that its students will not stand by and let them erode the education and services they have paid for.
We demand that:
- Students and staff do not have to bear the costs of COVID-19 and that responsibility, fiscal or otherwise, falls onto the university.
- The quality of our education, courses, and services are not diminished to save money for the university.
- The university continues to ensure no international student is left behind. We call on Deakin to take responsibility for ensuring fair and equal treatment of international students, and to give them the same rights, and access to support that domestic students have.
-The university does not cut jobs, wages, and conditions for teaching and learning staff, including student positions.
