What a plainly dumb idea! (Whose idea actually was it?). The people RESPONSIBLE for this idiot decision should be a) ashamed of themselves, B) fired for stupidity and C) forced to publicly apologise

Students pay thousands of dollars for a quality education, this means experienced FULL time staff. This situation just doesn't makes sense!

Hi, I'm a Production Designer in the NZ film industry. I can not understand the reason for this restructure? Unitec say it isn't for financial reasons but I can not see any other benefits with the proposed restructure. As an industry professional I feel they will be struggling to find high quality industry people available to teach on a short term contract for the sort of money they will be proposing. My final comment would be to say what about the people who are paying the staffs wages? ie: the students. Don't they also need to be aware of these changes and how it may affect their degrees which they have already started? and Good luck to the Unitec design staff, you deserve better than this!

Have you all gone mad for our children to be the best in their field we require the best teachers in Design and Visual arts. This govt. is driving nz education standards into the ground. These students deserve the best of tutors the same as doctors.

This is a ridiculous ill justified decision. The current staff are hugely qualified. The students deserve better than this. The fact that they are petitioning against it is an indication that the decision had already failed for one major group of stakeholders.

This Government is more focussed on greater course homogenisation and ease of academic assessment rather than the quality of the educational experience for students. Northland is facing the same cuts at the NorthTec Rawene Campus. Some 600 years ago, when Leon Battista Alberti fought for the recognition of art as a subject worthy of academic status on the basis of it's theoretical and intellectual sophistication, he can hardly have intended this bean counter bureaucratic model

Sigh! When will we learn! Unitec please rethink this decision. As a BFA graduate of the Dunedin Schoool of Art I am stunned by this decision.

Just a unbelievable unprofessional decision, shows total lack of financial acumen by the Board of Unitec, another example of poorly conceived attack that is aimed at undermining of the role of qualified teachers by the current Govt.
