Pros
The staff who work directly teaching students and the staff working to support students are hard working and demonstrate an authentic duty of care.
Cons
The leadership is nepotistic and cases of bullying academic and professional staff are rampant. There is a toxic culture at the core of JCU's leadership that led to damning report by the Discrimination Commissioner in 2017. The truth is the report changed little and those in leadership positions continue to haemorrhage money and then give academics workload well beyond the Enterprise Bargaining Agreement (EBA) to try to make up the difference. In an attempt to reduce current full time staff, they have entered into revenue share arrangements with a white label partner and have begun to move degrees online.
