☮ ♥ ♬ 🧑‍💻What does the AFR say about University administration? “Are Australian university <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/bosses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bosses</a> worth the big bucks? Australian vice chancellors earn far more than their <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/peers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#peers</a> in the <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/UK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UK</a>, <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/US" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#US</a>, <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Canada</a> and <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewZealand</a>. Is this justifiable?”“Australian <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/universities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#universities</a>, it seems to me, are subject to two different forces: <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/managerialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#managerialism</a> and a heightened <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/regulatory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#regulatory</a> state. By having so much <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/RedTape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RedTape</a> attached to universities by <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/government" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#government</a>, we end up needing a lot of processes and the VCs are there to make sure their universities are fulfilling all those sets of <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/regulations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#regulations</a>,” Forsyth says.She agrees with Robinson that university governance is at the core of the explosion in executive salaries. Whereas Robinson points to a lack of <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/experience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#experience</a> and <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/expertise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#expertise</a> on university boards, Forsyth blames the loading of <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/CorporateTypes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CorporateTypes</a> on university <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/councils" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#councils</a> and in <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/Chancellor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chancellor</a> positions, which she says fundamentally changes the focus from academia to money-making <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/enterprises" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enterprises</a>.“I think this has enabled councils to leave the managers in charge and act in solidarity with them,” she says. “Councils are stacked with people who are going to be on the vice chancellor’s side from an ideological perspective.” Forsyth, author of “A History of the Modern Australian University”, was made redundant last year from <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/AustralianCatholicUniversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AustralianCatholicUniversity</a> after it shut down a raft of courses in the humanities, including <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/ResearchInstitutes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ResearchInstitutes</a> in <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#philosophy</a> and <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a>.She notes that for decades, <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/ViceChancellors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ViceChancellors</a> have been whinging about the lack of <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/GovernmentFunding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GovernmentFunding</a>, but achieved very little in return. At the same time, they have overseen mass <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/casualisation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#casualisation</a> of staff – <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/HigherEducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HigherEducation</a> has the largest proportion of causal and contract staff of any sector in the economy – while ignoring widespread <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/WageTheft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WageTheft</a> – now estimated to be as high as $160 million affecting 100,000 employees in almost all universities”<<a href="https://archive.md/uJS5u" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://archive.md/uJS5u</a>> / <<a href="https://www.afr.com/work-and-careers/education/are-australian-university-bosses-worth-the-big-bucks-20240122-p5ez5x" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.afr.com/work-and-careers/education/are-australian-university-bosses-worth-the-big-bucks-20240122-p5ez5x</a>> (paywall)
