It is imperative that a university is granted by the south east. Lets deliver on the promise of a knowledge economy and get the island of Ireland (South east included) ready for the inevitable recovery to come. This area can be a strategic link to Europe and we need to harness this for our future benefit

As MD of a knowledge industry related company, I seen the need and strategic requirement for a University of the South East. This will develop the area considerably and meet the needs of the local and national population and industries so that we can compete in markets where a knowledge driven and asset-less world is becoming ever more important.

I disagree with the Anonymous comment below. I believe WIT exceeds the work conducted by some universities in the state such as NUIM, NUIG. It certainly has a higher profile - it may be that re-designation is a threat to other such universities.

There is excellent chemical & physical scientific research in WIT but I am not of the opinion that University status is currently warranted. I have met with reps from WIT on many occasions as I studied my PhD in Dublin and have close working links with the WIT. FUSE has a problem in that they all they see if the university status, not the merit. One day...but foolish to think now

It is already an excellent third level institution with high standards and merits this status. Furthermore, it is long over due for this part of the country and would be of huge benefit to both the economy and to the population in general.
John Maher - Wed 07 May 2008 10:59pm
A university would deliver:
- more critical thinking about the way we conduct ourselves in the region, socially, politically and economically
- a less rigid employment structure within the institution itself
- more students from abroad with a similar effect for the economy as with any other export of services
- a greater capacity for accessing European funding
- more opportunities for graduates
- greater tax payments because more graduates will command higher salaries and this suoppprts social and economic development nationally
Education has got to be about challenging the accepted wisdom and creating new understanding and knowledge platforms.
We are proud of what we have achieved and we are ready to move to another platform with fresh expectations.

A University in the SE is a priority. It has been wanted for over a decade. It has been stopped long enough by snobbery and small minds.

The South East needs a University to offer its people the opportunity to gain University qualifications without being forced to migrate and also to attract the region's fair share of cutting edge industry.

As a graduate of WIT, I feel that Waterford City and the South East desperately need a University. As a region, Waterford City and the South East have been disadvantaged over the years, compared to Cork, Limerick, Galway and of course Dublin. If WIT was given University status, it would benefit the South East region, in particular the future students who will attend, as well as the economic situation of the region.

The strongest argument in favour of a university for the S.E. is the geographical one: without one this region is disadvantaged in so many ways. WIT has the capacity and potential to become a first rate iniversity if it is given the status and the funding. The Govt should make the right decision based on the merits of the arguments made. Limerick, Cork and Galway already have universities: Waterford and the S.E. have waited too long already!

As a former student of WIT (1997)I had to transfer to NUI Galway to complete my Mechanical Engineering Degree. I feel the education I recieved at WIT was second to none and feel they are very deserving of University Status!

I completed a business degree in WIT in 2000, the standard of education was excellent, something which is well recognised in industry. I subsequently joined a big 4 accountancy firm, completed proessional accountancy exams and I am currently a bank manager. I owe a great debt of gratitude to WIT. It is WIT's constant drive to improve & innovate, dedication to professionalism in education and vision for the future dictates that the college deserves University Status.

WIT is currently doing great things and has come a long way in a short period of time. They can only improve under full university status. The proposed name, however, while inclusive, lack character and identity. May I suggest incorporating "Ireland" in there somewhere. Perhaps: University of South East Ireland or South East University of Ireland? Good luck!

The ongoing neglect of economic development for the South-East area shows no sign of supportive action. If in the past Ireland has "bred children for export", currently the South-East breeds education talent for export to other regions / countries, with little opportunity to return.

As a Waterford born and Wexford raised writer, I want to urge the powers that be to facilitate this obviously dire need. I grew up in the 1970s, when everybody who wanted to better themselves had to leave to get a university education. After 15 years of a boom economy, it is inexplicable that government still has not put provision in place for this facility.
Karen Frampton - Wed 09 Apr 2008 5:18am
Only in Ireland will there be such resistance to provide a gateway for endless opportunity in a region, namely the South- East.By ignoring the need for a university not only current but future generations will miss out on gaining from having such a great opportunity on their doorstep. I am currently living in Australia, where their proactive approach to Learning means a university in almost every pocket of it's major cities. Come on Ministers, do your jobs and put this plan into action!

For far too long Waterford and the South East of Ireland has been overlooked in terms of development and economic investment. Recent events in the regional labour markets alone should make a strong argument in favour of university designation for WIT.

There is no excuse for no having a university of our own. The single reason for lack of university take up amongst talented young people in the southeast is the lack of a university at their own front door. Every other geographical region is well catered for. The south east must speakly vociferously and with convidtion. The minister, as befits her party, shows no vision for this country.

Its time the leaders of this country stopped turning their back on the South East region and gave us the same treatment as they give the likes of Limerick and Galway. We arent going to go away no matter how much they try and ignore us.

Class of 95. They were looking for Uni status when I was there, so it is long over due. The South East needs a University. The government keeps emphasising the need for a knowledge economy, therefore we need quality universities throughout the country.

I feel very strongly about the lack of opportunity for the people of the south east region. When I left school I got a place at university but my family couldn't stretch to the expense of me living and travelling away from home. I should be an english and history teacher - I am not. I don't want the same thing to happen to my son, he is only one year old, and I'm already saving in the credit union for him. I am also very involved in my local community and I see all our young talent in the arts leaving to go to uni and our local arts /sport community is suffering. I think it's disgraceful that we are disadvantaged in this country because of where we live. We vote for people to represent us and run the country - promises are made but not delivered.

Decentralisation is said to be Government policy, this is not just about Departments, it is also about all of the other things a region needs to be somewhat self-sufficient. A University in the South East is a must. The greater Dublin area has, counting Maynooth, 4 Universities for 1.6M people the South East has no University for over 400,000. My children went to WIT, I now have grandchildren and I want them to have the opportunity to go to a University within their area, the young adults of the Southeast are not getting a fair deal.

I now have 4 sons in the education system & they deserve a chance to attend a university within reach of their home. Wexford needs it everybit as much as Waterford.

The Port Report clearly establishes that WIT is worthy of university status. Please do not allow political issues to prevent the Institute attaining the status and credibility it deserves. Please be willing to do what it takes to provide a university for the south-east region so that it may achieve its potential in making its regional, national and international contribution to learning and teaching, research and development.

Does the Goverment know what will happen to their candidates in the next election if they don't deliver on this vital piece of infrastructure? This is not just good for the South-East but having a strong modern university here will be good for Ireland. Cork with its typical arrogance thinks it should have two universities while the whoke south-east has one third level college ... Carlow is to all intents and purposes in the Midlands ... it is time for FF to deliver on this and not to bend over like they did when the RTC's were renamed .... Limerick & North Dublin had no university until 1986 .... who lost? a University in the South-East is WIN WIN ..

Not only should we be applying for it , we should be demanding it as our right ...we've been too quiet around here in the past , eg.. radiotheraphy , the 2nd river crossing ( we should be on our 3rd!!) . We've had very poor representation in all areas from our past dail reps and as usual it will take forcing the matter by mass mobilisation if we are to achieve anything 'cause theres a lot o' clowns out there with hidden agendas that will oppose any development of the South East region .

Waterford and the south east have been looking for a University for years we urgently need one to compete with other areas in Ireland for Jobs. Families expense is increase greatly if a child wants to go to a university. not all families have the money to send a child away to be educated. It is the south east right to have one way are we suffering because Cork and Limerick have one. I could go on and on but I have not the time. I hope I have made my point.

I support the campaign for. W.I.T. seeking universtiy status as it is the prominent college in the south east and offers a range of academic courses. Being a former student of W.I.T., I am very conscious that my traing and qualifications from W.I.T. has helped me enormously to get employment. AS W.I.T. has expanded in its infrastructure and standards, I believe it merits to be given University status.

I am graduate of WIT. Given the progression of this instsution over the past 15 years, and the quality of the instute, it compared more than favourably to the many University Institutes with which I am familiar. In addition, the lack of a University in the southeast is endemic of the lack similar investment in this region.

I was a member of the Board of Governors of WIT for 5 years from 2000 to 2005 and the need for a University of the South East was very high on the Agenda at that time. We need this University so urgently and so quickly if the South East is to have any chance of surviving in our present economic climate. N.Ryan

I was in attendance at Waterford when it received it's Institute of Technology Status and was amazed to see what an effect it had on campus, both on the staff and students a like. A similar move now to the university status can only assist in furthering the improvement in facilities and course content and creating a reqional 3rd level base to rival those currently in situ in our major cities and indeed in europe.

I think it is essential for the development of the South East area that Waterford is recognised as a University.
The fact that there is no recognised University at present is leading to mass migration of students from the South East to Dublin, Limerick, Cork and Galway to receive University degrees. As you can imagine this places a huge financial burden on the parents of these children.
It also means that many of the larger multi-national companies will not consider the south east as the students here do not have the desired qualifications.

University Status for W.I.T. is vital for the South East and surrounding areas. This would be a huge boost for the area in relation to the creation of jobs etc. and more importantly would make going to University more accessible for the general population. The chances of sending a child to a University at present is severly compromised because of the additional costing of accomodation and other expenses incurred whilst living away from home. It not possible to commute from Waterford to Cork, Dublin or Galway.

It is vital that W.I.T. are awarded University status as it will enable the people of the south east to avail of a university education for their children (many of whom are unable to send their kids to University at present because of the cost of accommodation etc.). It will also increase Waterford's business profile in attracting industry etc. to the area in the future.

It is impeative that a University is established without delay in the South East for the future of industry and enterprise. By not having a University their is also a major threat to our sporting organisations as once kids become eligible to attend university they are leaving the south east and clubs here cannot compete against clubs in University towns

We don’t want any more excuses, we don’t want further procrastination, we want the government to listen to the voters of the South East. What we need is a University in the South East, what we want is action now please, we have been patient long enough.

The reaction of other Institutes of Technology to the granting of university status to Waterford is not a good enough reason to withold it.

Wouldn't it make sense to start the supposedly important process of decentralisation with school leavers - before they get centralised by being forced to go to Dublin for a university place?
I'm sure granting WIT university status would cost less than paying off civil servants to move (back) away from Dublin!

The young people in the South East region are leaving to go to Dublin, Galway and Cork to attend University and most of them are not returning to our city. We need WIT upgraded to improve our city / region as young people are the future. Why is it that Dublin can have 4 universities and the South East have none?! It is time that the South East region was granted it well deserved University, given the upgrade of WIT over the last 10 years.

This government has procrastinated over the decision on WIT becoming the University of the South East for long enough. Dr Jim Port’s paper which was commissioned by this government states explicitly that “WIT has an academic maturity and an activity profile which overlaps with institutions in the Irish University Sector and in other Western Countries” and goes on to describe that WIT would not look out of place as a University in the UK or Canada.
The Taoiseach, his government, its departments and officials, acknowledge as one, the importance of the knowledge economy for the nations success, whilst at the same time overlook the fact that its citizens who live in the south east region are without a University. We insist that an urgent and positive decision regarding the designation of WIT to University status is made now.

The South East needs a university and it would be as convenient as the north Dublin and Maynooth Universities for students from Wicklow. It would also be less costly and traumatic for first time home leavers. Wishing you every success with gaining University status.

If this Government is serious about the National Spatial Strategy and believes in creating a counter weight to the behemoth that is dublin, they will reach the a decision that is equatible, moral and right, in granting University status for WIT, and thus creating a Regional University for the S.E
How many reports do we need to get this message accross to our politicians and ministers?
The government constantly repeats ad nauseum the outdated 2004 OECD report yet ignores their most recent 2007 report which advocates regional Universities - Why is this?
I personally put blame on the whole Government including our sitting TD's in this region for letting this decision fester. The Government is the collective responsibility of the cabinet, and not individual ministers, as has been trotted out time after time.
I call on Taoiseach Bertie Ahearn to use the executive powers of his office to upgrade WIT now!!!

The South East needs this university badly. We need it in order to be on a level playing field with the rest of the regions. It is time for us to have out fair share, we are the only region of this size in Ireland without a university and as a result we are under performing in many areas, including third level attendance, employment, economic growth, etc. While other institutes may think they deserve a re-designation, we NEED it and now, because we are the only region in Ireland without a university.

I’m a past pupil of Waterford IT and I have been working in the Information Technology industry for the last 5 years. In that time I have come across many ex-pupils of Waterford IT and the quality of the students are excellent, so much so that current employer and ex-employers have actively sought students of Waterford IT to work for their company.
I think a university for the south east would be extremely advantageous to the area, the people, the students (past, present and future) and to industries within Ireland and the south east. For myself (currently working in Mexico City) I wish to return in to the Waterford region and maybe start a company or work in the IT / University and the support of a university environment would greatly aid me in this endeavor.

The solution offered by the powers-that-be at that time was to change Waterford's RTC status to that of an Institute of Technology ... which was deemed an acceptable step on the road to fully Uni status. What disapointed me bitterly was when ALL RTC's were ultimately re-nominated as I.T.'s ... thereby negating Waterford's comprehensive efforts.
Don't let this happen again!

We need a university for all the young people. They are the ones who will have to continue to live and work in the region. With out a university the standerds may fall. Becoming a university will insure that the college produces the best of students and also keeping the standerds of the college at its best

The case for a university in the south-east is hard to argue with, given the positive economic and social impact it would have on the region. Failing to upgrade WIT on the basis of fears of follow-on requests from other ITs would be pathetic. Politicans - prove your worth!!

The university is vital for the economic and social development of the south east. It will correct a baltant injustice in the distribution of third level rescources across the regions of Ireland as we are the only region not to have a university.

The case for a University of the South East has been well made by lobby groups in the region since the late 70s. It is accepted that university status brings with it increased prestige and funding to WIT and will permit WIT to setup a distributed campus in key areas within the region. It is an established fact that universities increase jobs and FDI within a region. They also promote innovation and the creation of indigenous industry. The South East has been oft overlooked by governments and it's only been in the past few years that a terrible road network has been upgraded. The future and pride of the region rests on establishing a strong and credible university which will help bring highly-skilled jobs, much needed investment and further infrastructural improvements. Yet the government resists after 2 independent reports endorse our claim for redesignation, both clearly stating that the government MUST decide its policy in relation to this matter. Those who feel the money could be better spent elsewhere should look at the efficient and entrepreneurial way WIT has pursued public-private-partnership funding. WIT's case for redesignation is clear and unassailable. In terms of research funding we are the jewel in the IoT sector. The region's need for a university is also clear and can't be undermined by citing much-cherished extracts from OECD 2004 report which denies changing economic circumstances and the imperatives of a new and internationally competitive knowledge economy. Rather than asking themselves how they can afford the upgrade to WIT the government should be asking "How can we do more as national growth depends on it?"
We are ready, able and willing to have a University of the South East and will accept nothing less.

The changing demographics of Waterford I believe need the support of a university. There is an opportunity for conversion courses to help new arrivals have their qualifications modified to meet the needs of the south east community. In this way skilled labour shortages could be addressed and the south east could host a university that offers courses and services that are not offered in the older traditional institutions.

The South East of Ireland has suffered due to the lack of a regional University for far too long and the time has come to make a change for the better.
I fully support FUSE in their efforts towards the re-designation of Waterford Institute of Technolog y to University Status.

As the Research Director of the TSSG, one of the largest research centres in Ireland with over 120 staff and students fully funded from research funding, I am acutely aware of the differences between the Institute of Technology (IoT) oT sector and the University sector funding models, especially when it comes to research activities.
Whilst we have managed in the TSSG to work around many of these limitations, they are still limitations that should not be there for our institution, for the sake of its development as an institution and for the sake of the region's development.
The designation as an IoT is currently stifling development of the South East Region by limiting the level and kind of research investment, as documented in the University of the South East submission, and as confirmed by the recently released by Dr Port's report. All of the problems identified in this report relate to the national policy of maintaining a binary sector (of Universities and IOTs), and to to the case for the University of the South East made in terms of institutional needs and regional needs.
I am confident that when granted re-designation as a university that the new University of the South East will have an even bigger impact on the region economically and culturally than Waterford IT has already done to date.

A university for tje South East is a pre-requisite requirement. This is the only large region in Ireland that has no University and it id greatly hampering our ability to attract high quality companies. Also it means local students have no choice but travel for higher third level access

I look forward to the day when Waterford is at last recognised as a centre that can provide a university standard education to the young people of the area thus eliminating the need to travel to get a qualification.
It will also attract industry to the region that requires university qualified graduates.
