The University of Cambridge has decided to close down its architecture department. A demo is planned by CUSU and ArcSoc on Monday, 1pm in front of the senate house.
The University of Cambridge has decided to close down its architecture department. The official press release talks about lack of accademic quality, others talk about funding problems. The official press release is here:

The ArcSoc and CUSU were planning a protest, that would end in the University senate house.
This will happen on Monday 1pm, in front of the Senate house.
They seem to be confused about the fact that the police does not have the power to ban demonstrations, even if no notice is given at all (as many town activists know well):
"The demonstration has been organised by CUSU president Wes Streeting, and Luke McLaren, President of ArcSoc. Streeting has expressed his disappointment at the decision to stop the march, which has already been advertised throughout the University. He says that the Police have stopped the march because they claim the organisers did not make contact early enough. But he maintains that he gave the Police the seven days notice he thought required for a march and that “internal and communication problems” led to its cancellation."
