Region. UWS staff cutbacks

The National Tertiary Education Union at UWS claims management is trying to cut administrative staff numbers in the school of management by half, which would mean the loss of 10 jobs, The Australian Financial Review reported. Branch president, Terry Mason, said highly committed staff had been left feeling disrespected. Responding to the concerns, UWS said the school had one of the highest administrative to academic staff ratios in the university and a final decision had yet to be made.
