RMIT Fine Arts Degree - not recognised overseas

Take a look at this site. Join the cause. I did.
What is happening here is not right, especially for those who have already begun the course.  Anyone thinking of going there in the future should re-think their stance.  Do you want to pay for a degree that offers reduced hours of contact with your professors/tutors?  A degreee that is not even rocognised overseas?  RMIT has a lot to answer for, and no one seems to be holding them accountable except for what appears to be a small minority of students and one very couracgeous Steve Cox, who is being bullied by the powers that be at RMIT.  What an absolute disgrace. Theres a lot of commetary, but when it came to the crunch, the students failed to act.  Lets hope that something good comes of all this.
