It's no mistake the Discussion Paper was announced when students and staff were finishing classes. It's no mistake the only briefings were held during the holidays. It's no mistake the due date is before VCA classes return. We are publishing people's submissions in our Discussion Paper section (in the light of the University refusing to publish submissions until after the deadline passes).

Aside from on the Save VCA website and briefly in the mainstream media there haven’t been thriving debates about VCA in the public sphere. More public and intelligent discussion would change the social situation: it would put more pressure on the University, and also be a way to lead yourself and others out of apathy. If you make a submission, consider making it public as well, via blogs or other suitable means. The usual arguments such a the appeal to VCA’s function for industry haven’t had much effect. Are there others that have yet to be raised? Apathy is a function not merely of the will-power of individuals, but of social situations.
