Several leading Australian universities have announced sweeping job cuts in recent weeks, citing financial strain and declining enrolments, particularly among international students.

The Australian National University (ANU), Charles Sturt University, Macquarie University, and the University of Tasmania (UTAS) are set to axe over 100 roles combined, drawing criticism from the National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) and reigniting calls for structural reform of university governance.
