The news just came through that Patrick is staying on with us. I honestly never imagined this would happen but it is entirely because of the people who stepped up to show how much he means to this school.
Petition
Oppose Patrick Stoddard’s forced retirement!
As you all know, Patrick Stoddard one of our most beloved course leaders for the Journalism Course is being forced to retire at the end of this semester.
A lot of students are unhappy with that decision because Patrick’s wealth of knowledge and years of experience are invaluable to us as Journalism students. Patrick’s unique style of teaching, the fact that he created the journalism course and his immense popularity with staff and students makes the decision to force him to retire one that students cannot support.
We are not happy, and furthermore we are worried about the future of our course. A teacher as passionate about his job as Patrick is will only ever be an asset to any institution he is associated with and will always be an inspiration to his pupils!
Please support Patrick and his students by signing the petition to keep him here!
I have been overwhelmed by the messages you keep sending me about how Patrick changed your lives. It is clear that this is about so much more than just a job title because you all clearly recognize the incredible impact he has had on this entire department.

I am honestly stunned by the momentum this has gained lately. This movement is entirely fueled by your dedication to Patrick and I am just humbled to be watching it unfold.

Absolute disgrace. You dont just throw away talent like that because of some arbitrary retirement age.

Patrick is the reason I even stayed in this program. This is such a load of rubbish to force him out when he clearly still has so much to give.
