Date: Monday 30th November
Time: 5:30pm-7:30pm
Venue: Newcastle City Hall
After almost two years of campaigning and members putting themselves in the firing line, the final report on the NSW Parliamentary Inquiry into the University Sector has landed. But what comes next in the campaign to fix our unis?
ICAC, NSW Parliament, staff stories and media digging all point to the same conclusion union members have known for years. Corporatised management, unaccountable councils and business interests have taken our public institutions down a dark path.
The inquiry placed University of Newcastle at the epicentre of this crisis, and so our forum will be held live as a special event at the Newcastle City Hall Banquet Room from 5.30pm, with a Webinar for those who want to watch online.
Join key speakers on Monday 30th November for a night of in-depth conversation as we unpack the report, the significance of its recommendations and what comes next in the campaign to fix our unis.
Featuring:
- Vince Caughley – NTEU NSW Division Secretary
- The Hon. Sarah Kaine MLC – NSW Government and Inquiry Chair
- Dr Terry Summers – UON Academic and NTEU Staff Union Branch President
- Leigh Shears – Secretary Hunter Workers
- Imogen Reid – Student President and Chair of University of Newcastle Students’ Association (UNSA)
- Plus more to be announced
