*** MEDIA ALERT *** NTEU, university staff, students and community rally against cuts at the UTS Open Day

National Tertiary Education Union < 1 mins read

Why

UTS has announced the suspension of new enrolments in more than 100 courses for 2026. The suspension affects all faculties, with particularly severe consequences for International Studies, Education, and Public Health.

 

While management describes the pause as “one semester only”, in practice the Autumn intake structures the academic year. This means there will be very few first-year enrolments for suspended courses in 2026. The consequences will be felt by students, staff, and the wider community in years to come, and will cause lasting reputational damage to UTS.

 

Stand up for public interest research and teaching by rallying with staff, students and the wider community on Open Day.

1pm, Saturday 30th August
