James Cook University (JCU) is proposing to close the BA creative arts major in North Queensland by the end of 2023.
Management proposes to stop programs in creative arts, tourism (in Townsville), planning, conflict resolution and aquatic vertebrate disease research, as well as other “non-aligned” work.
Speaking on the phone to ArtsHub, Professor Daniel says the proposal is absolutely devastating. He worries for the currently enrolled PhD and Masters students who would be affected, and for any future students who want to stay in the region and study creative arts.
