Petition

Finally, in a few days a petition about these matters will be coming round your class. A copy of the petition is included on this page and there'll be lots of space for any additional comments. Its pretty important to act now because there is still some time to influence the decisions that the department will shortly have to make. In order to help with our understanding of its position it would be a friendly gesture from the department if it chose to reply to some of the points raised here. But its not compulsory. All that can be promised is a space in the next issue for a department spokesman. Experienced English Department watchers will be interested to see who it might be, since no clear primus inter pares has emerged from the current reshuffle. Will it be Bollinger over Tye? Docs McKenzie rate higher than Johnsen? Watch this space for clues.
