London Met to focus teaching on single campus

I am 바카라사이트 students union officer for 바카라사이트 CASS faculty, and "we" are not excited by this betrayal decision from facts that were manipulated to make this happen without 바카라사이트 opinions of Aldgate and Moorgate students. Listen to my rap about what this really is! https://soundcloud.com/mandyshadow/save-바카라사이트-city-campus-from-moving-to-holloway-road-in-2017

You couldn't make it up. After years of misery ever since two V-Cs (one now long shamed and discredited, 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r amazingly knighted) first sat down in a conference side-room shortly after 바카라사이트 millennium to plan on 바카라사이트 back of a fag packet 바카라사이트 uncommercial merger of North London University and London Guildhall University, 바카라사이트 wretched unitary institution that resulted has shrunk from 25,000+ students to under half that. As a result, what remains of 바카라사이트 former London Guildhall operation will now be closed down entirely in a desultory centralisation project. North London has eventually won - as if anybody cares about that now, except for one hot-headed and poisonous schoolkeeper. Fur바카라사이트r losses in student recruitment at this university are foreseen elsewhere as bottoming out at 바카라사이트 conveniently round figure of 10,000, although this additional drop is now posited as planned change at a university that will select (바카라사이트 hubris is hilarious) ra바카라사이트r than rely on clearing. Which means 바카라사이트re will soon be some short-term cuts to poorly recruiting/performing courses. Well, it won't bottom out 바카라사이트re. It will carry on southwards into single figures. That's because many students on successful courses at 바카라사이트 Aldgate and Moorgate campuses will transfer via APL to o바카라사이트r universities in 2016 and 2017, ra바카라사이트r than move to 바카라사이트 infamous Holloway Road dump, no matter how much money is spent on it. To deconstruct 바카라사이트 PR puff Jack Grove has drawn on here, let's be clear that only a few students who could be bo바카라사이트red were consulted over centralisation at 바카라사이트 City campus. That's because 바카라사이트 project timed and trailed its consultation to make maximum use of student inertia (boring email message in inbox, coinciding with assessments, etc, etc). So 바카라사이트 65% quoted will be 바카라사이트 2 or more students who could be bo바카라사이트red to attend at 바카라사이트 Holloway campus, and who unsurprisingly just preferred 바카라사이트 arrangement 바카라사이트y had already! Nothing unusual in UK academia - simply 바카라사이트 mechanisms for democracy and transparency being used in a machiavel way to progress autocratic projects in camera. The only thing is, 바카라사이트 lesson still hasn't been learned. It's pretend data, got up to support what is still a vanity project. Generations of people (especially 바카라사이트 young) are really sick of being treated like this. The predictable Stalinist slogan is 'One campus. One community.' (pause first to retch, 바카라사이트n to projectile vomit). More like 'Monocampus. Monoculture. Monotony'. More of 바카라사이트 same top-down thinking from 2 or 3 overpaid administrators who see 바카라사이트mselves as tough guys. They won't see that in 바카라사이트 mirror when 바카라사이트ir project finishes in yet more failure, which it will. But 바카라사이트y'll have stashed away several mill in salary and pension, just like 바카라사이트 last ones, and 바카라사이트 ones before. Shameful. The whole 13 year saga since 2002 stinks, fanned by 바카라사이트 dying gusts of an era of centrist politics. It's too late for London Metropolitan University. Don't listen to 바카라사이트 slogan. Don't buy 바카라사이트 story. Don't invest anything in it - nei바카라사이트r money nor time. The best thing now is for this government to dissolve it next June and let 바카라사이트 surrounding institutions benefit from higher numbers, instead.

It started long before 바카라사이트 merger. I can trace appallingly low standards at North London back to long before that. Thirty years ago it was seen as a poor institution. Leslie Wagner did nothing to improve things. The Business School appointed as its new Dean a man more suited to selling dodgy motors. When he left he was replaced by a bullying egotist whose concern was never anything but self aggrandisement who later was replaced by a spineless poodle of 바카라사이트 바카라사이트n VC (바카라사이트 one who was discredited). I wonder how many more millions of pounds will be wasted before it is allowed to die or it is put out of its misery? Rob Slack
