Canberra Institute of Technology cuts executive team from 13 to 9 positions
The Canberra Institute of Technology will cut two more executive roles, shrinking its management from 13 to 9.
CIT sent its restructure plan to staff on Tuesday to improve long-term sustainability. The plan cuts two more executive roles, shrinking the management team from 13 to 9, continuing downsizing that began last year when two positions were already lost.
Staff have long said the organisation was top-heavy and needed to focus more on teaching rather than executive roles. The restructure also continues a voluntary exit program from August, which includes freezing new hires and halting contract renewals.
