Australia: Public meeting discusses how to fight Labor’s university restructuring

Educators and students joined the meeting to oppose the assault on university education and its transformation to meet the needs of the corporate elite and the war machine.

University educators, students and teachers participated in a strong public meeting on Sunday to discuss the Australian Labor government’s restructuring of universities, accompanied by the destruction of some 4,000 jobs, and its connection to the dictatorial and militarist agenda that the Trump regime is spearheading internationally.

Held in Sydney and online, the meeting was entitled “Oppose Labor’s ‘national priorities’ university restructuring and job cuts.” More than 100 people joined the meeting, called by the rank-and-file committees at Western Sydney and Macquarie universities, the Committee for Public Education (CFPE)—the educators’ rank-and-file network—and the International Youth and Students for Social Equality (IYSSE), the youth movement of the Socialist Equality Party.
