No way to run a university: ACU butchers the humanities and its own reputation - Graeme Turner

No way to run a university: ACU butchers the humanities and its own reputation - Graeme Turner

Replying to @ANZAMEMS @MedievalAcademy @RoyalHistSoc @CatholicUniv @HumanitiesAU @KU_Leuven @AustHistAssoc
I am saddened by and angry at this terrible news. Why would you discontinue a wonderful programme with world-leading scholars working on topics to which, of all institutions, a Catholic university is expected to be making a decisive contribution?

This is a short-sighted decision that places a high-performing, unique centre of MEMS research in Australia under threat of extinction. Please like & retweet @mcassidywelch's post & most importantly, follow her advice on who to email your protests to. Be noisy #medievaltwitter!
