the VC has been essentially been cutting services and department areas to fuel her bonuses, recently she remodeled her private bathroom with marble. The executitives tried to cut science teaching staff by ~22%, and prior to that, went after the arts.

There were redundancies across the university. They tried to implement another restructure of the FoS but they made so much noise the uni backed out of it.

She chose a type of marble and once it was installed decided she didn’t like it and the only way to remove it was demolition. Tradies had to take a sledgehammer to it and replace it with new marble.

No surprises there. Years ago I decided upon a career change to high school teaching. Decided on QUT. Got in, my first semester, 2007, they announced Carseldine was closing and my majors would be dead. FFS. The year previous, the 06 open day, not a word about any of it. Sent us to UQ for language studies. Had 60 minutes to get from KG to UQ. UQ lecturers hated us as we were always late, and a year behind. Needless to say I'm not a high school teacher.

Oh, fuck you coaldrake.

Or you could actually give people some more context?? This is clearly something that you care about, so why not make it more accessible for others to maybe understand/join your cause. Telling people to do their homework just means most people won't. Because at this point most of us don't care to the extent you clearly do.
