The dispute erupted after the university docked full pay for staff participating in an earlier UCU boycott, which the union now calls a lockout. With 269 academic and professional staff at risk—and more cuts planned for September—this is the third round of redundancies in five years, despite $24 million already saved. The university insists consultations are ongoing and vows to avoid compulsory layoffs, while offering provisional grades to ease student impact. Even acclaimed professor Michael Rosen has publicly endorsed the strike, urging the university to negotiate and protect students’ futures.
