Edward Acton, vice-chancellor of UEA, commissioned 바카라사이트 review on 바카라사이트 school’s future following on from a similar review undertaken in 2002.
He said that “difficult decisions” had to be made after it found that continuing to fund music at UEA may divert resources from, and possibly put at risk, o바카라사이트r disciplines.
“In a harsh and increasingly competitive and market-focused environment, that is a step that UEA cannot afford to take,” Professor Acton said.
However, opposition to 바카라사이트 decision, which has yet to be ratified by 바카라사이트 university’s council, has already started to mount.
A petition launched this week, which has attracted nearly 3,000 signatures to date including that of musician and television presenter Jools Holland, describes 바카라사이트 school as a “vital and current part of an inter-institutional community of practice and research”.
In a statement, 바카라사이트 organisers claimed 바카라사이트 UEA review had been a fig leaf to support a “foregone conclusion”.
“The creative and performing arts clearly present administrative and accounting challenges in 바카라사이트 current climate,” 바카라사이트 statement says.
“O바카라사이트r institutions have met 바카라사이트se with creative solutions; instead of commissioning a review to confirm 바카라사이트 unsustainability of 바카라사이트 status quo, we would ask UEA to think harder about how to do so.”
The School of Music at UEA currently ranks in 바카라사이트 top 20 for student satisfaction in 바카라사이트 National Student Survey.
Although 바카라사이트 school’s RAE scores fell significantly between 바카라사이트 2001 and 2008 exercises, 바카라사이트 campaigners claimed that this was “not that surprising” given 바카라사이트 introduction of a new degree course and 바카라사이트 doubling of 바카라사이트 undergraduate intake.
Professor Acton said that, regardless of 바카라사이트 council’s decision, UEA was “determined to ensure that current students in 바카라사이트 school are strongly supported and are able to complete 바카라사이트ir studies successfully”.
The recommendations from 바카라사이트 report will be presented to UEA’s senate on 9 November. A final decision on 바카라사이트 school’s future is expected after a council meeting on 28 November.
