A union has demanded Charles Darwin University vice-chancellor Scott Bowman apologise for blaming workers for the delayed opening of the university’s city campus, saying it is “despicable” to blame workers for mismanagement by others.
Prof Bowman said in a statement on Friday the delay in the handover of the reported $250 million building to the university was caused by Electrical Trades Union members at Nilsen – the electrical subcontractor to builder Halikos – decision to take industrial action.




Academics could not organize a root in a brothel.
-The flagship Building is behind schedule because CDU Management are off with the fairies!
-The multi million $ SDX IT project is way behind schedule just as was its predecessor project which got cancelled.
This may be due to the diversity based hires made by a woke university! Diversity based hiring just blew up in their faces to the tune of multi millions.
-$15 million red hole in the budget caught the Executive sleeping at the wheel in 2023!
-A lot of CDU Senior Management have left since Professor Bowman started, taking the operational knowledge of that fine institution with them!
-Not even former NT Administrator, Whats-her-face O’Halloran stuck around once she slummed it at the “most connected” university.
Most universities advertise their academic success or research success or Rankings. CDU, Ranked 51 of 52 in Australia by its staff, is down to “most connected uni” by its mediocre marketing team.
-If the students could get their CDU units recognized and credited by any other Australian Uni, they would be leaving as fast as they could.
