A union of university staff is warning of a potential shutdown of public universities. The threat is due to unresolved issues with staff welfare and an agreement from 2025. An emergency meeting was held to discuss these matters.
Further action may be taken without notice if the issues are not addressed. The union is seeking resolution on withheld salaries and deducted funds.
Details of the situation and the union's demands are available from the Academic Staff Union of Universities.
