The University of Technology Sydney is suspending more than 100 courses as it prepares for a controversial redundancy program to save $100 million.

In short:

The University of Technology Sydney says it needs to cut 400 jobs, roughly 10 per cent of the workforce, as part of a cost-cutting initiative to save $100 million.

Staff say the health advice, which includes making time to wash delicates and brush their teeth, “de-legitimised” their concerns.
