Size and Shape: Plan B

I'm sorry we weren't allowed into the size and shape faculty board meetings today. No worries: I think Luke tried hard as he could to lobby Kat for us, but it didn't work.

So, for the official record, this is Plan B:
The three of us (Tim, Mpumi and I, now that Luke's decided to pull out of the story) must interview the deans of the faculties whose meetings we were going to sit in on. So that means Mpumi will interview the deans of Commerce and Law, Tim the deans of Science and Pharmacy, and I the deans of Humanities and Education. We can try to ask them what was decided at the meeting, what future plans for their faculties are. I hope we should get at least three big news hooks out of that for our story. Then we'll individually ask students, lecturers and so on for their opinions.

For the intro to the whole story, I think a comment from Dr Badat and/or Fatema Morbi would be great. Once we've emailed all our deans, we can talk about the news hooks we've found, find a good angle for the story, and ask for general comments on that for the intro.
