UMPA's Response to the Implementation of the Arts Renewal Strategy

Posted in: Reports, Briefing Papers & Submissions

UMPA has prepared a position paper in response to the implementation of the Arts Renewal Strategy. We are deeply concerned about the impact of the strategy on graduate students' experience in the Faculty, and have therefore submitted the paper to the Teaching and Learning Quality Assurance Committee (TALQAC). President Tammi Jonas spoke to the paper at the TALQAC meeting on Thursday the 8th of May, and reported back to you via the President's Ponderings (blog) the following day.

Tammi was also interviewed about the issues in the Arts Faculty on 3CR (855AM) on Saturday 10 May.
