That is what staff said at UoM main campus a few years back. Didn't make any difference, Glyn and the Council sacked and pillaged just the same. The advantage you have at the VCA is its high public profile, and the enthusiasm of staff members (current and those recently eliminated) and the students to fight for the place. Regular exposure in the mainstream media is what really matters - keep naming and shaming and the chance for change remains possible.

The new changes are damaging to what has been the most important training school for drama and performing arts students in Victoria. Why wreck what is so valuable, is held in high regard and has produced exceptional quality graduates, but in fact is too small these days to accomodate all the students who wish to train here.
