Killing the CASS would be a tragedy for British Design — Guardian
I would be interested to see how many positive articles the Guardian ran on UK HE design education and its economic merits over the last few years.

Of course anyone that teaches in the creative industries actually knows this is pure nonsense for any creative discipline be it games design (aka seen as digital) or jewellery. (aka seen as physical)
