This is completely unreasonable and asking for burnout for the staff who remain.

This is a despicable state of affairs , poorly thought threw and flawed. I am a graduating BDVA student and the course has provided me with so many valuable skills and contacts thanks to the awesome knowledge, experience and skills of the lecturers. There is no way you are going to be replace this with your so called "industry people" who you intend to bring in . I urge you to stop for a pause and think more before you become the history writers of an unmitigated disaster for education in NZ.

the new management attitude is short-sighted, uninformed and ridiculous. It is killing any hope of an art school

New Zealand is ranked as the highest transparent country in the world! Unitec needs to be transparent and fair with the students! I am a student at another department in Unitec and stand with you! Don't give up!

We demand that Unitec rescind its decision to make redundant 50 highly qualified and proven teachers/technicians in the Design and Visual Arts Department. Unitec owes its current students the same quality, quantity and consistency of education as met by the 2013 DVA programmes. We insist that the proposed 17 replacement staff cannot deliver the same value of education to over 570 students who were previously taught by over 50 staff. This action by Unitec is at the expense of their current student's education.

I was a Visual Art student, quality teachers mean quality outcomes no matter the chosen field of graduates!

Who ever heard of sacking a whole department? Insanity and money madness reigns supreme. Stop it.
