Campaigns Run By NTEU
Our Universities Matter is the major national campaign being run by NTEU, launched in 2008.
The campaign seeks to:
- Achieve higher levels of government funding and better funding mechanisms.
- Protect university independence and freedom of inquiry.
- Introduce controls on excessive workloads, better job security and a competitive pay rise for university staff.
- Win a better deal for students around affordability and improved student services.
Academic Freedom Watch is a site established to promote academic freedom in Australia's universities. Created by the Victorian Division, the site includes debates and articles written by high profile academics in this area.
Our TAFEs Matter is the campaign to promote Victoria's TAFE system, which is being undermined by changes in funding systems by the Victorian Government. The changes would introduce a HECS-style loan scheme, more than double student fees and reduce public TAFE funding certainty.

Famous quotes containing the words campaigns and/or run:
“That food has always been, and will continue to be, the basis for one of our greater snobbisms does not explain the fact that the attitude toward the food choice of others is becoming more and more heatedly exclusive until it may well turn into one of those forms of bigotry against which gallant little committees are constantly planning campaigns in the cause of justice and decency.”
—Cornelia Otis Skinner (1901–1979)
“Man, in the ideal, is so noble and so sparkling, such a grand and glowing creature, that over any ignominious blemish in him all his fellows should run to throw their costliest robes.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
