Educators and students are speaking out against the pro-business, militarist assault on Australian university jobs.
"At university, they push us to attract industry funds, and they do not encourage critical thinking in students. It shouldn't be about job training all the time!”
The Committee for Public Education (CFPE) and the International Youth and Students for Social Equality (IYSSE) recently held a public meeting to oppose mass job cuts at Australian universities and the broader assault on public education.
This transformation is being spearheaded by the federal Labor government, aiming to subordinate the education sector to corporate and military needs.
