This is madness. A poor outcome for the students and very short sighted outcome for the staff.

It's just so important to have creative people employed in our communities. It's not all just about money, please get your priorities right

I believe that the students in this programme will not receive the quality and depth of education tht they have been led to expect if the proposed changes take place. I doubt the ability of itinerant teachers in particular to give the depth of understanding appropriate for the programmes offered, and am shocked that a reputable intstitution should think that replacing trained and experienced tertiary teachers with 'industry experts' can possibly fulfil the needs of fine arts students in particular.

Why are admin level staff taking trained professionals out of the teaching area. It CANNOT be done by non experienced tutors.
Sickening! If Unitec wants to save money start with cutting the CEOs salary! Students need well qualified, experienced academics not industry hacks! or we will just be getting into crippling debt for a piece of paper rather than an education.

Not to mention disciplining the wage of teachers, undermining unions by making all lectures independent contractors with short term contracts ....bringing working rights back to the middle ages. Thats progress.

This is typical of capitalist ideology. Putting money first above humans. Shocking behaviour.
Not good enough, try harder.
