While staff are losing jobs, students are losing courses, and campuses are being hollowed out, university VCs and their corporate consultants will be inside the Fullerton Hotel attending the Australian Financial Review’s so-called Higher Education Summit.

Those responsible for cutting jobs and corporatising higher education are meeting to discuss our future without us. There's no representation from workers or their union, just consultants, politicians and industry lobbyists.

So members, unionists, students and the university community are coming together to make sure we're heard. Join us in rallying outside the summit, making it clear to the so-called 'decision makers' of our institutions that they can't lock us out of our own future.

Let’s be clear: this isn’t a summit to fix the crisis in higher education, it’s a summit to manage the decline. To rebrand job cuts as “transformation.” To sell off the public mission of our universities in the language of productivity, innovation, and consultancy slides.

RSVP now, tell your colleagues and be ready to be loud on the day.
