[committee] Request for help UWA Cuts

[ED EAN]

Hi,

I am emailing about the recently announced cuts to social sciences and the $40M restructure that the VC, Amit Chakma, is pursuing. 7-8 more schools are set to be cut and 400 jobs will be lost by December. This affects every student on this campus, not just those with social science majors.

It is integral that we, as students, meet these attacks with a sustained, visible, and loud fightback. So far, no more cuts have been announced because we have had a massive campaign to oppose it. We are writing to ask you to use your platform to endorse the upcoming senate protest on the 23rd of August. This protest will target the UWA Senate because they are going to be making decisions about the future of all students at UWA, and should be held accountable.

Please do the following to support us:


  *   Share the demo on your social media https://fb.me/e/1F6tjJcqH
  *   Email your club members about the demo
  *   Make a public statement in opposition to the cuts
  *   Cohost the facebook demo (select ‘add to page’)
  *   Visit our stall on Monday at the Guild village to grab posters and sign the petition

This could make all the difference for the lives of staff and students at UWA both now and in the future. We’re relying on your help with this, we can’t do it alone.

Thanks,

The Education Action Network
