Photographs from yesterday’s dual rallies at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) and Sydney University, where staff and students protested against the latest cuts to working conditions, jobs and education across the tertiary sector.
Organised by the National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU), the protest began at UTS before moving to Sydney Uni where focus was brought to bear on the gutting of the School of Medical Science in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The police presence was more subdued than in recent university protests where riot police and students clashed. Yesterday’s rally was the first police-sanctioned street march since draconian social gathering laws were introduced under the coronavirus.
