Rmit Enterprise Agreement 2010

In 2010, RMIT began studying the financial viability of certain disciplines within the school. As principal, Professor Hayward committed to reorganizing the structure of the school and was eventually tasked with making a series of recommendations to Vice Chancellor Professor Margaret Gardner. Fair Work Australia decided last week that by introducing the new behaviour requirements, RMIT had not breached its working agreement with employees. The National Tertiary Education Union has appealed the decision, but a hearing date has yet to be set. In 2009 and 2010, Professor Bessant made a series of complaints about Professor Hayward. In particular, she claimed that Professor Hayward had harassed her and that no secure employment had been made available to her. In April and June 2010, Professor Bessant drowned out other complaints against Professor Hayward. The result was a „transaction and release“ agreement (agreement), under which RMIT agreed to take a series of steps to appease Professor Bessant, including transfer to another office. In that decision, Justice Gray, recently retired from the Federal Court of Australia, said that the selection of an academic for dismissal was illegal prejudicial measures and that RMIT had conducted the dismissal process as a „pretext to get rid of an undesirable employee“. . . .
