A truly disappointing and short sighted decision from @UniSouthWales in axing @usw_dance. A sad day for the arts in higher education #saveUSWdance
The University of South Wales has axed its dance degree amid backlash from students and cultural figures, who have labelled the move “short-sighted” bit.ly/2PfrWBl
Solidarity and power to students and staff after the closure of @usw_dance programme - it is devastating to see the arts in higher education starved off like this #saveUSWdance
Although it's summer, we are continuing to fight to prevent course closures at the University of Surrey.
Please sign and share this petition to try to save the Digital Media Arts Course at Surrey!

After 46 hours, we’ve come out of occupation and led a rally across campus ending at the SU with some songs to end it all! thank you to everyone for their support! ✊🏼✊🏼
(pics of the rally to follow soon...)
Yesterday evening we received a response to our demands from management. We are not satisfied with the response as it does not address the spirit of the original demands. We have replied as follows.
Prepping for our second night in occupation. #ForeverSurrey
Two years ago @TheStage wrote about the value of the BA Theatre and Performance at GSA. It is a shame that this programme has been erased from the school thestage.co.uk/advice/2017/h…
Thank you to student activists from @SurreyLabourSoc and Surrey, CTR who have been in occupation the whole time in solidarity with GSA students ✊🏼✊🏼
We’ve officially been in occupation for 24 hours now! Still awaiting for @The_GSA and @UniOfSurrey to respond to our demands...!
