Don't do this foolish thing. Use your imagination and staff to fine other ways to save money and raise new funds. Design is a crucial area needed more than ever.

Students will be at the mercy of industry professionals who at a whim may fly off for an audition elsewhere. Quality and consistentcy is what students need. Research shows that routine and stability makes for a good learning environment and yet this proposal directly ignores good pedagogical practice.

Management at many of our universities appear to have little idea of how students learn. They see tutorials as being of little value, when students often rank them above lectures, and would like to see laboraty classes curtailed as they are more expensive than lectures. This is just another example of what happens when bean counters rather than educators run educational organisations.

Teaching in tertiary education is a skilled occupation and to expect people not used to it to deliver it effectively seems a nonsense leaving aside the obvious maths. This is a further example of the undermining of tertiary teachers.
