The world’s 7th-ranked Arts programme is literally crumbling as more restructuring (read: subject cuts) is being planned. This follows a harshly critical review by a Queensland academic (…why are we even listening to Queensland?) that revealed a significant number of subjects being over-specialised.

The Arts faculty is seeing a projected financial deficit of some $12 million, and obviously, jobs (apart from more subjects) are expected to be lost soon.

I sense my coursemates are going to take it to the streets again, soon.
