Support Unitec's design school staff - sign the petition

Design students at Unitec need your help. Last week we reported that Unitec plans to make 50 of its 53 Design and Visual Arts staff redundant. Students at Unitec are protesting this. They say it will hurt the quality of their education if Unitec replaces its experienced, trained teachers with part-time and itinerant providers.

We agree with them!

You can support Unitec students and staff by signing this petition the Design and Visual Arts students have launched: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/unitec-dva-students-against-staff-redundancies
