Just look at the salaries of university presidents, Vice Presidents, chancellors etc.
For one, you can at times hire 10 TT assistant professors. Unreal.
Firings of Tenured faculty
-
William Paterson University in NJ plans to cut ~20% of FT (TT and tenured) faculty. All faculty members will receive pink slips to comply with union contract notification rules, and individual notices will go out by June 1.
And the school's president just accepted a raise.Not seeing anything on google news about this.

Job losses at Australian Unis have been brutal. One non-group-of-eight Uni in Melbourne eliminated 525 full-time posts. Most casual (adjunct) staff also gone. The loss of overseas students is draining about 1/3 of all revenue.
Multiply these losses across the nation and it’s a bloodbath.

Not well. They have seen many posts eliminated.AU person here. It's awful. So many unis have cut hundreds of jobs including senior executive positions. My uni I think is cutting around 600 with the union Job Keeper framework in place (10% slash to salaries to save jobs plus multiple rounds of voluntary redundancies, massive restructure and 'forced' voluntary redundancies i.e. having to reapply and interview for your role).
Melb U is interesting in that their staff turned down the framework where they would have only lost 2% of their wages to save jobs (and have one of the highest paid academics).
Swinburne is undergoing a major restructure as well, last I heard moving to a college and departments rather than faculties and departments, thereby getting rid of a number of deans among other senior staff.

A number of people are getting 70 weeks of pay but there’s slim hope finding another job. Redundancy clauses stipulate no rehirings before 12 months have passed.

In the US, freshman enrollment in fall 2020 declined by an unprecedented 13.1%. This led to an overall postsecondary enrollment dip of 2.5% according to the most recent data from the National Student Clearinghouse. Enrollment declines vary by institution, but public 2-year institutions have generally seen the largest declines in first-time student enrollment (-21.0%) followed by public colleges and universities (-8.1%). New international student enrollment dropped by 43%.
Everything will depend on what happens with enrollment for fall 21, but unlikely we will back to fall 2019 numbers so job market will take a longer time to recover. -
Kansas regentes just made it easier to dismiss te ured professors. This policy permits the state?s public universities to sussend or terminate employees without declaring financial exigency...
That�s going to raise red flags at the accreditors though.They absolutely should lo/se accreditation.
We need to fig/ht back.
