The ACF is the mechanism by which management will size up workers for redundancy targets that we already know are arbitrary. The ACF is obviously bad. It will be personally devastating for many colleagues. It is discriminatory. If the process is allowed to continue, it will bring about redundancies that are illegal. Longer term, it will also bring about a university that will be badly placed to meet the needs of future students precisely because it has been warped by its own perverse metrics.
