Closure of postgraduate computer lab A1.39 at Caulfield

The MPA has been informed that at the end of this year the university intends to remove the computers from A1.39 on Caulfield campus and retain the room as study space only.

The MPA is concerned that this may impact negatively on coursework postgraduates and is planning to lobby against this proposal.  We would like to hear your views on this proposal.  Please email comments to Christiane Momberg.

Take our Caulfield mini-poll (below)
