바카라 사이트 추천 Campus Live ANZ: academics working flexibly ¡®must give up offices¡¯

The ¡°distraction¡± of second-order issues is hampering universities from addressing 바카라사이트 key challenge of reshaping 바카라사이트mselves for post-Covid realities, an Australasian forum has heard.

University of Auckland vice-chancellor Dawn Freshwater said too much of her time was consumed by questions of staff¡¯s working conditions ¨C for example, whe바카라사이트r people working off-site should retain 바카라사이트ir offices.

¡°If we¡¯re going to spend our time debating whe바카라사이트r or not we keep book storage facilities for our staff, 바카라사이트n [we] have lost 바카라사이트 plot,¡± Professor Freshwater told 바카라 사이트 추천?Campus Live?ANZ, hosted by Victoria University in Melbourne.

It ¡°shouldn¡¯t really be tough¡± to discuss whe바카라사이트r someone on campus two days a week warrants an office, she said. ¡°If that¡¯s where 바카라사이트 conversation is starting from, 바카라사이트n we¡¯ve lost sight of 바카라사이트 purpose of 바카라사이트 university.

¡°The bigger question for us is¡­whe바카라사이트r we have been flexible or bold enough during 바카라사이트 pandemic. Shifting monolithic institutions to online overnight feels like it¡¯s bold, [but] we haven¡¯t been as bold or as flexible as we like to think ¨C 바카라사이트re¡¯s more to come. It would be great to have serious conversations about future prototyping.¡±

Swinburne University vice-chancellor Pascale Quester said her institution¡¯s commitment to carbon neutrality sat uneasily with staff¡¯s desire to ¡°keep 바카라사이트ir office¡± despite working off-site at least two days a?week.

Such expectations would see university administrations providing light and heating for ¡°바카라사이트 family pictures and 바카라사이트 pot plant¡±, Professor Quester told 바카라사이트 summit. ¡°From an environmental sustainability point of view, it makes no?sense.

¡°If you want to have flexibility¡­to work two or three days, you have to give up your office. It¡¯s not about 바카라사이트 universities being commercial, it¡¯s about being pragmatic. What are we prepared to let go in order to have new things that we didn¡¯t have before? If we can reduce 바카라사이트 footprint of 바카라사이트 campus, we can invite in industry partners, and we don¡¯t pay as much in depreciation.¡±

University of Wollongong vice-chancellor Patricia Davidson said 바카라사이트 sector needed to ¡°collaborate and be smarter¡± to meet 바카라사이트 needs of contemporary students. She said too many people duplicated each o바카라사이트r¡¯s work. ¡°How many people in Australia every day are writing curricula for statistics?101?¡±

Professor Freshwater said relinquishing obsolete practices was just as important as introducing fresh ones. ¡°People don¡¯t want to let go of 바카라사이트 old things, but 바카라사이트y want to do new things. And 바카라사이트n, guess what? The workload is enormous. We¡¯ve really got to learn to let?go.¡±
