Italian Petition
Even though no Italian Department would have meant no Googley in my department, it's still part of our department and would suck if they closed it. So anyone who fancies signing a petition against the closure of my uni's Italian department Click Here. It doesn't matter if you're not a Bangor student, we've got people from all over on the petition and it can't do any harm to have a few more :)
Uni's are closing departments left right and centre to make financial cuts, Italian is a small part of our Modern Languages department but will restrict our languages offered to French/German/Spanish which will limit people wanting to do triple honours (and we're one of the only universities who offer the course) and cause more damage to applications and therefore finances in the long run than closing it. And there are more statistics on the page to prove the point.
