The oldest University of Australia will try to 'decolonize' his curriculum through a series of lucrative roles that are only available for native applicants.
The University of Sydney has advertised three highly paid positions last week, only available for candidates from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander.
“This is illustrative of the shift in academic priorities of Australian universities, who have left the pursuit of knowledge for political activism, in this case under the guise of 'Decolonization',” Dr. Bella d'Abrera, director of the Foundations of Western Civilization Program of the Institute of Public Affairs to Sky News.
One of the jobs offered, with a basic salary of $ 108,557 Plus 17 percent Superannuation, is a Senior Education Design Officer who will guide academic staff in designing and implementing projects to catch the curriculum. “
The most important responsibilities include designing, testing and implementing learning materials that support 'cultural inclusive education' and the development and delivery of 'training programs that improve cultural consciousness'.
The Uni also hires a project officer, with a salary of $ 99,455 Plus 17 percent Superannuation, who collaborate with team members to build 'new project plans with regard to indigenous curricula'.
“As a project officer you will support the education manager and educational designers in a number of initiatives aimed at catching up and decolonizing curricula,” according to the job description.
The third job is for a senior clinical psychology teacher with a two -day contract, which pays between $ 150,461 to 173,492 (pro rata), plus 17 percent super.

The successful candidate will 'mainly work … to support staff to bring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and clinical knowledge together and to contribute to the Master of Clinical Psychology Teaching Program'.
The senior teacher will also 'contribute to non -bregated education and efforts to overcome the non -bregated curriculum'.
The recruitment spree has come Despite reports that seven Australian universities run the risk of losing around $ 600 million to the US funded research grants as a result of President Donald Trump focused on diversity ceremony and inclusion.
The University of Sydney has strongly defended the new employees.
“These roles are designed to help our educators when they develop learning resources on indigenous knowledge and cultures where is relevant to our curriculum,” a spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia.
Dr. D'Abrera asked why the university thought that its existing curriculum was “so racist that it should be decolonized.”
“If something is decolonized, it is the universities that are colonized by radical edge theories such as critical racing theory, intersectionality and decolonization,” she said.
“Vice Chancellor Mark Scott did not succeed in protecting his students against unbridled and extreme anti -Semitism on campus last year, this year he has the critical racing theory take over from student training.”

Indigenous activist Warren Mundine, who was a leading not a campaigner during the failed voting referendum, said that the new jobs of the university are 'bizarre and ridiculous'.
“I thought universities were about people who came there, challenging, investigating, supporting their arguments with empirical evidence, learning,” he said.
“All these courses have become indoctrination.”
The controversial recruitment spree follows the 'Wokest' university of Australia that describes its division and compulsory 'Manawari' course that non-native students 'visitors' and 'settlers'.
The controversial module at Sydney Macquarie University made the headlines when a student claimed that she had to follow the class who labeled her a guest in Australia – even though she was born and raised here.
“The tutor let us all cancel our hands and she asked overseas students to put down their hands, then students who identify as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders to put down their hands,” Student Ava told Ben Fordham of 2GB.
'The rest of us with our hands that are left, she actually called us all the guests and that we do not belong here in Australia.
“Given that I was born here 20 years ago and grew up my whole life here, I was just taken back a bit and it's not so good with me.”
But after he was reported on Radio and by Daily Mail Australia, and questions asked by liberal MPs in the parliament of the State, the university taught the module.
