Class Notes - the vice-chancellor's unmaking of the uni

written with other FWs and comrades, for distribution at USYD:

 

The beginning of the university year, with students returning and classes beginning is a time when all parts of campus seem to swing into full gear. And while this is certainly the case in terms of undergraduate courses - which do provide the bulk of the student body - this appearance is not exactly the reality. For staff reading this, you will know that work continues even through the quieter summer months.General staff in campus infrastructure continue to maintain and upgrade facilities, the libraries remain open with staff doing their best to ensure all is ready for the return of students, ground staff are still required to ensure the upkeep of the university, administration staff have to process a new round of enrolments. These are just a few examples of the variety of roles of general staff within Sydney Uni. On top of this, there is of course the academic staff who continue research work as well as preparation of courses for the new semester over summer.
