Griffith U is consulting staff about closing its Centre for Creative Arts Research, although it does appear management has made up its mind. “As a collective, the centre’s capacity to attract external funding does not exceed national averages nor is it financially sustainable. It is acknowledged that the opportunity for the research centre to amplify the profile and performance outputs of its individual members has not been realised.”
While two jobs are lost under the proposal it seems academics, and research students will go to the Griffith Film School and Queensland College of Arts.
