James Cook University JCU Cut courses, sack staff without warning Townsville Nationwide

JCU has become a nightmare not just for staff but for students alike. Not only have they been cutting jobs they have also been cutting courses. Unfortunately this was revealed not by the higher ups at JCU but by the media. 

In fact,most financial records, student complaints and general dealings hold no transparency. 

Recently dubbed as being worth $600 million to the economy, this is a pittance compared to other universities. 

There are many examples of how JCU has cheated staff and students. This ranges from abruptly cutting jobs right through to letting medical students continue their studies despite being involved in this: theage.com.au/news/education-news/third-degree/2006/06/02/1148956534393.html

What is not revealed by this article is that the perpertrators were in fact allowed to continue with their medical studies.

They also censure their staff on a constant basis: theaustralian.com.au/higher-education/reef-whistleblower-censured-by-james-cook-university/news-story/c7aa0e0ac1c1dec1b065273d2e968f6d 

In addition the medical school's Director of Students Ms Grant was expelled herself from university. It is unknown how she gained the qualifications to take on this job.

JCU Marine biology students have been know for receiving 'soft marking' for being full fee paying international students. This article demonstrates that JCU was a part of foreign student 'poaching' abc.net.au/news/2015-04-17/universities-foreign-student-feeding-frenzy-corrupt-middlemen/6398922 

In general JCU isn't an educational institution because they aren't bothering with education. Just making more buildings and neglecting the things that matter.
