Queensland University of Technology

Queensland University of Technology (QUT) "is one of Australia's largest universities, enrolling 40,000 students, 12 per cent from overseas." [1]

In response to Peter Coaldrake's "push to scrap QUT's basic Arts and Social Science degrees", [2] students have created a protest website called Keep Humanities.
