The quality of the staff and student experience at the University of Sydney is suffering.
Academic schools will be replaced with ‘Interdisciplinary Employment and Start-Up Centres’.
The case comes after the University used misleading data to justify wide-ranging course cuts and redundancies.
The EAG presented a gift to Jagose: an oversized cardboard replica of a pair of scissors.
Subjects that are at risk of being cut include many from Hebrew, Biblical & Jewish Studies, Visual Arts, Philosophy and more.
Undergraduate students will vote on a motion to oppose the continuing cuts and school restructures in FASS.
Enrolment numbers will determine what will be cut, merged or otherwise diminished.
Documents from later education protests last year cement a picture of the University’s antagonistic attitude towards student activists and willingness for police intervention.
