Epilepsy is a cruel condition that the person has no control over. My brother was fired from his job because he had several seizures and it ripped his world apart. Some people choose to stay on pip benefits for their condition but others long for a normal life of studying and working. To treat these people like it’s their fault is disgraceful. There is no control over these seizures even through medication, ear plugs Special glasses etc. Through no fault of his own this man is being discriminated against and there needs to be more understanding and help around this subject.
Rhoda supported: DENIED: My University’s Refusal to Refund Tuition After Epilepsy Relapses.I wanted to enroll into Italian to for my Italian grandparents one has passed away and the other has dementia I want to be able to better understand and communicate with them. It is also important to allow students to choose a language to learn as well as the culture of the languages.
Alanah supported: Fight the Closure of Languages at the University of WollongongLanguage learning is a gateway for a lifelong learning journey, becoming a bridge, and building a global relationship. It opens one's mind and brain stimulation and great joy. What would we become without learning other culture?
Risa supported: Fight the Closure of Languages at the University of WollongongI strongly oppose the University of Wollongong’s proposal to disestablish its Languages Discipline. Language education fosters critical thinking, cultural understanding, and skills vital for Australia’s role in a globalised world. The decision undermines a thriving academic and teaching community and ignores the importance of multilingual competency for economic, social, and geopolitical engagement. I urge UOW to reconsider and support the indispensable role of language studies in higher education.
真柄 supported: Fight the Closure of Languages at the University of WollongongI am a current student at the University of Adelaide and I believe that the identities of both the University of Adelaide and UniSA are important.
Proceeding with this merger will have a major negative implication towards both student satisfaction with both Unis, and will corporatize both Unis, thereby removing their unique individual identities. (As well as getting rid of their unique Uni logos, as the University of Adelaide has quite a professional logo, whereas the UniSA logo has its own charm.)
Future students to the merged Uni will feel confused as both Unis will merge their programs rather than offering their own individual programs and courses, confounding both international and domestic students.
I am strongly against this merger as it goes against both Unis' identities, corporatizing both, and in the process, confuses both new and existing students by bringing forward a new system of lectures and scholar material (one which also heavily bases itself on ONLINE-ONLY material, devoid of face-to-face tutorials and lectures), which is also a detriment to staff working at both Unis who may enjoy their jobs or line of work face-to-face.
Dillon supported: Stop the University of Adelaide and University of South Australia mergerYou’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
