Over the last 10 or so years, university maths departments have been decimated in Australia. Now USQ has decided to decimate it's maths department, so Terry Tao has started a petition at http://terrytao.wordpress.com/about/petition-to-support-maths-statistics-and-computing-at-usq/
I signed it with the following comment:
I support this petition. Service teaching is indeed inadequate. Putting philistines in charge of schools and universities has never been such a great idea, but this sort of thing is inevitable if they are put in charge.
You might like to also sign it.
