Announcement comes a day after University of NSW slashed 493 jobs as higher education sector reels from coronavirus impact

Monash University has revealed it will cut 277 jobs due to a projected $350m revenue shortfall in 2020, as international student revenue declines hit university bottom lines.

The announcement on Thursday is the latest in a series of job cuts triggered by an estimated $16bn loss of revenue due to Covid-19, and follows the loss of 493 jobs at the University of New South Wales.
