University of Technology Sydney tells staff facing axe to 'wash delicates' to help manage stress as it suspends 146 courses

In short:

The University of Technology Sydney says it needs to cut 400 jobs, roughly 10 per cent of the workforce, as part of a cost-cutting initiative to save $100 million.

After ABC News revealed high levels of psychological distress among staff facing the axe, UTS rolled out advice to support their wellbeing.

Staff say the health advice, which includes making time to wash delicates and brush their teeth, “de-legitimised” their concerns.
