Entire UOW Academic Senate dismissed; extraordinary meeting called
Critics are concerned that the new model will shift power “away from academic representation to greater dominance by university management.”
April 15, 2021
The entire Academic Senate at the University of Wollongong (UOW) has been dismissed to make way for a new governance model, which critics say will lead to “greater dominance by management”.
UOW’s University Council (the University’s governing authority) dismissed the Academic Senate (UOW’s peak academic body) at a meeting on 9 April, after an internal review found “a need to alter Academic Senate membership”.
However, members of the Academic Senate say they were never consulted on the latest model, and that the “complicated” provisions tip the balance of power away from elected Senators.
