The university will now probably move to force a redundancy in information services. There have of course been plenty of different sorts of voluntary and other more hidden forms of redundancies or forced resignations and retirements at the university before this. One that comes to mind is Jing Ping who was forced to accept a package _ I think it was forced after not accepting an offer for a contract. There is a process that was followed here and I think it was not so good. Other examples include the creative arts staff, the Information systems staff and LFR two years ago.
What did we do in those instances? Why was there no outcry? Were those so inevitable and unable to be resisted.
Now a staff member who currently has work and has been identified as fulfilling an important role in the university especially in relation to the future e- learning and online areas of the university has been told he is excess to requirements because of financial exigency.
This indicates a new low that needs to be resisted not sure that there will be enough interest to make a big splash with it yet. A process of redeployment has to be followed first and I hope this will be a long drawn out thing.
