Griffith students unite for better conditions
By Justin Randell
BRISBANE — An upgrade of computer facilities, tutorial sizes capped at 15, free child-care, better security on campus, abolition of library fines and an end to academic job losses — these are some of issues that students at Griffith University will take up in a new campaign for better campus conditions.
The campaign, launched at a meeting of 60 students on March 15, grew out of student responses to a survey, circulated by members of the Campus Conditions Collective since the start of semester.
The March 15 meeting resolved to refine and research the demands further and to organise a large student meeting on April 5, where the demands will be put to the university's vice-chancellor, along with a deadline for action.
Adam Baker, Resistance activist and the Student Representative Council's (SRC) co-education officer, called the meeting "a big and important first step".
