*shrugs*

i guess a business has to do what a business has to do... but i'm pretty sure they'll have a big outrage, and in the end they'll fix it.

They're not a business, they're a publicly owned, publicly funded educational institution.

[q]"If this goes ahead it will be make us a laughing stock among Scottish universities"[/q]

Is not far wrong.  I've worked with a lecturer from St. Andrews & (the head of computing of) Strathclyde, and both unis are investing heavily; if Callys actually cutting back, it'll be digging it's own grave (or at least for its reputation).

The irony is we're on track to pwn GU, SU and Paisley within the 2020 time scale.

One minute everything is looking so good, then these morons do this.

Ouch.. good luck to them trying to do that. I'm not suprised everyone is upset about it. Considering everyone is trying to push the digital frontier at the moment as far as integration goes - this is a huge step backwards for them.
