The Issue

Hello!

Thank you for taking the time to read this notice and sign this petition. For those who are not aware, the university has recently been discussing making several key changes to the Environmental Humanities (EH) course that will severely impact all students on the course, as well as several students from other areas of the university. Some of these changes are not reversible and have already been made, but others are still in discussion, and we still have time to share our opinions. 

Summarised, the proposed changes are as follows: 
 - (Irreversible) Several staff members from the course, including key personel, have taken voluntary redundancies due to being told that the EH course would be closed down, which is no longer the case.
- (Irreversible) Several modules across all three years are have been withdrawn due to the closure of Geography at Penryn
- Several Year 2 and Year 3 modules for the EH course are being withdrawn due to voluntary redundancies
- The "project" aspect of the dissertation process is in discussion to be closed down- Opportunities for connections with outside organisations as part of the dissertation have been lost due to voluntary redundancies.

As a result of all of the above changes, the course that many EH students now find ourselves on is one far separated from what we expected, and so we have created this petition as an opportunity to gather support . We will also be writing a letter to several key members involved in decision making, and including this petition as proof of student support.

If you have a few minutes to sign and add your name to the growing list of people wanting to see the course remain what we were told it would be, we would be incredibly grateful.

Thank you for taking the time to consider this, regardless of your choice.
