Scene from Lion King where Scar drops Mufasa off the cliff. Text says, "Change is difficult. Don't worry, support is available."
Just made my sign for the rally tomorrow. #OurANU @ouranu.bsky.social @nteuact.bsky.social
This smells like the School of Music gutting of 2012. #ourANU
Absolutely galling that this has been published the same day academics and professional staff are receiving emails about forced redundancy meetings. Heartless and completely out of touch. Disgusted at this leadership #ourANU
Key thing people asked for in the review was kindness, but this was also pushed back against by some in the university as being empty and focused on shallow niceness. -> I wonder if an institution can be "kind", or is it just the people within it? Does it even want to be? #OurANU #wellbeing
Makes me think of the fantastic, enraging, and profound book Complaint! by @saranahmed.bsky.social where the difficulty in navigating the bureaucracy of complaints is often a feature, not a bug, in university systems as it leads to complaints disappearing or being dropped. #ourANU #wellbeing
Significant contributor to stress was the bureaucracy of reporting or getting help. Administrative burden of managing the systems was highlighted again and again by staff and students in their #wellbeing #OurANU
5 ways to get to a wellbeing strategy: 1) Set things right, kindly; 2) Invest in easier and simpler ways; 3) Strength in connection; 4) More care in more ways; 5) Listening more, learning more. #OurANU #wellbeing
Wellbeing often treated as an "after", once it is reported or revealed. It should be linked to staff and student performance - an essential part of ensuring the university is functional. #OurANU #wellbeing #highered
Lyndall Strazdins about #OurANU mental health and wellbeing strategy: Number 1 reason for students to drop out is mental health and/or stress. #wellbeing #highered
I get it.
The absolute state of #ourANU. It's a mess.

A list of FAQs where the answer to each question is "Answer for question 1" etc.
ANU website is SUPER super helpful. Always good to have FAQs so we know what they want us to do...
Everything's going great at #ourANU !
If you're wondering how things are going at #ourANU, it's not good. A lot of voluntary redundancy folks still waiting to hear if they are can go. College budgets slashed, layoffs imminent, but zero communication. So we rely on Reddit posts like this:

Still waiting for #ourANU to run a poll which allows all staff to vote whether or not they have confidence in the leadership.
>800 union members voted, and >95% said they had no confidence.
ANU leadership claim that wasn't representative.
Prove it.
A man with a scrubbing machine, cleaning up chalk graffiti on the ground which reads “fight back, sack Bell”. The person referred to is our current vice chancellor.
With a massive budget deficit, and in the middle of huge layoffs, good to see ANU investing in cleaning up some minor protest graffiti before most people get to work. #ourANU
Just wrapped up a session with fellow Filipino scholars on #healthequity — sharing insights on #stigma, #HIV, COVID-19, #IndigenousPeoples, and my PhD work.
Grateful to ANU Philippines Institute & the PH-AU Association of ACT—real change begins with meaningful conversations.

Welcome to #ourANU, @sosyolohija.bsky.social and Keb Licayan! I am really glad that more Filipino scholars are pursuing their #PhD journey at The Australian National University! 🖤💛
Ash is a PhD student in ANU School of Sociology and Keb is from ANU Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs!
As my own university is undergoing massive restructures to make things "more efficient", this survey of professional staff is crucial. Burden of doing restructures is mostly on professional staff to make happen, and is huge barrier to efficiency! futurecampus.com.au/2025/03/25/r... #highered #OurANU
Never mind all the financial woes at #OurANU...
