The University is in the process of seizing student space located near the guild, that consists of the 8ball computer recycling program and 2 club rooms. By taking away these rooms, the nationally acclaimed computer recycling program will effectively be shut down, as we have no space currently large enough to accommodate the program elsewhere. Similarly valuable student common space will be lost. We have tried negotiating for alternative space with the university, but the university has refused to provide alternative space. They say there is no alternative space available on campus. For more information or to offer support contact the Murdoch Education Vice-President [email protected] *Update 12/12/07 The University is now willing to knock down a wall so 8ball can relocate into the rooms currently used by the Environmental Collective and as an 8ball store room. This will mean a downsizing of the program. No word on alternative common room space. Thank you to all who signed the petition. Update 13/12/2007 Media Conference with speakers from NTEU and Oxfam confirmed 10:00 14th Friday Guild Building, please attend if you can.

Total BS. Always taking away our space to save a buck. Stop it.

This is ridiculous. 8ball is such a great program and helps so many people. Why are they trying to ruin it

Universities are supposed to support student initiatives not kick them out. Keep the space open.

Fixing the recycling program should be a priority not a burden. Find them another room.

Leave the guild rooms alone. We have nowhere else to hang out between classes.
