Students & Lynne Kosky at the VCA

Victorian Arts Minister Lynne Kosky yesterday received a 15,000 signature petition in opposition to the changes to the Victorian College of the Arts. Current and past students were on hand to facilitate the hand over, completed by David Haidon, the former VCA Student Union President.

This comes after more than 150 staff “apply for voluntary redundancies” at Melbourne University.

Photos of the hand over can be found here.

This is an important step in the campaign, but there is still more you can do to help; become a fan on Facebook, or Twitter, spread the word about the changes and pass on the newly released industry document.

Lynne Kosky - Minister For The Arts

From Herald Sun Article (11/10/2009)…

THE Victorian College of the Arts should become a federally-funded institution to rival NIDA, according to Victorian Arts Minister Lynne Kosky.

On a collision course with her federal Labor colleagues, Ms Kosky said she wanted the college to receive the same funding as Sydney’s National Institute of Dramatic Arts, whose graduates include Hugo Weaving, Cate Blanchett and Mel Gibson.
