The University finally backed down and scrapped their pathetic plan to gut the Humanities department. They tried to erase 125 years of history but our pressure forced them to retreat. We won this round, but stay sharp because we are watching to make sure they actually keep their word.

We, the undersigned, urge the University to REJECT the proposal to scrap all teaching in Humanities and Welsh at the Cardiff Centre for Lifelong Learning and instead consider alternative proposals to develop and sustain a varied portfolio of courses in line with the University's proud 125-year-old tradition in offering classes to learners in the community.

The administration at the University thinks they can bury a century of tradition because the Humanities do not fit their narrow bottom line. I have been spending my nights digging through their budget reports and their excuses are falling apart under scrutiny. This fight is far from over and we have no intention of letting them erase our local history.

Such a joke. Humanities is what makes a uni a uni. You cant just get rid of history and literacy.
