My local bus stop

Impressive gardens too George

Is that Anne's hard work?

[Bealman]

Yes, certainly is. My surname might be Green, but green-fingered I most definitely ain't!

[Graham]

Deal!

Seriously though George, you have done a very good job.

Spotted at the bus stop last night. Dunno what it is, luckily the bus arrived before Bealman could mess with it

Could be an ASIO listening device in case you start talking to yourself again

Saw this in the local rag today. I did my geology degree at this university, and am a little bit saddened. Not a lot, mind.

The academics are worried about their jobs.

[Train Waiting]

Closing that course would be a very silly thing to do.  Very silly indeed.  I suggest they close the political science or media studies courses instead.

Incidentally, I noticed they didn't mention consulting the public in the last paragraph.  A serious omission, in my view.

With all good wishes

Unfortunately, it's all about $$$. The very courses you suggest should be shut down (and I agree completely), are the ones that bring in the quids to the university.

So what will happen to the currently offered Bachelor degrees that are Environmental Science and Environmental Engineering focused?

I would rather have a healthy quantity of scientists around the joint rather than more baristas and dog walkers.

Closing such an important course does seem very short-sighted. I would hope some of the affected earth-science based companies might scream and shout a bit, or, even better, stump up some sponsorship.
