Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4this is going to be the complete and untter demolishment of NCAD and the whole culture that goes with it, if you really want to stop this from happening then stop with the impotent silent protest and get organised, get militant and increase your demands, otherwise you will be rolled over by the whole university corporate machine, if the union stays with this method of organisation then grassroots studenst in NCAD should dismiss the union and get serious about opposing the attempt to place NCAD in the heart of corporate education
So, they're upset. Not surprising, they're about to lose a lot of business. You need to find out how much. Put a rough figure on how much you spend on crayons, sandwiches, water, cigarettes, etc.., in your local area.
Also assess any potential transfer site. Who would sell you those things at another campus? Are there already suppliers there? If not, future "crayon" contracts are going to awarded. To whom?
How much is your site in Thomas street worth? What is the surface area of the site? how many buildings are there, (could it to be sold as one lot or many different sites?) Value it approximately. How many of your students or staff have leased parking spaces for cars, motorbikes or even homes close to the NCAD campus? Value their losses &/ potential cost of disruption. It is presumed you have transport infrastructure to the current campus, is the service to another potential site upto the extra load? = Are there enough buses / car parking spaces at another site to accomodate you all, or will they have to be built adding to the cost of relocation? How many of your erasmus (or other transfer students) from other countries have chosen your campus with its location in mind? Could your institution lose international students or business if it is perceived as being absorbed into another institution (NUI)?
So- Lots more questions. Don't exagerate the answers or estimates, but do get "round figures". Several of the most important need to be in "millions€". Let us know.
to NCAD campaigns manager, you've managed to write a campaign article without actually stating any issues or the reasons for the opposition to the move.
i can guess at a few , but nothing substantial enought to win a campaign...
can ya give me a bit more?....
Sitting in a lecture I could hear pretty loud shouting. Startled as there were no posters up for an action or demo of any kind in the past few days.
A trip over to ucdsu.net led me to discover this
"Students from the National College of Art and Design protested in UCD today over the planed move of the college campus in Thomas Street to Belfield. The protesters spent the afternoon marching around Belfield. They protested inside the Student Centre due to the fact that they believed that UCDSU had not offered them any solidarity or support in their campaign. They also protested inside the Administration building chanting “Hugh Brady here us say we wont move no way” while trying to march up the stairs to his office. The students of NCAD were also supported by many UCD students who joined in with the demonstration."
