It's been more than 200 years of education here in Llanbed,
00:05
but for how long will these people be here?
00:08
That's the question.
00:09
After the Welsh Government decided to move all of their Israeli students
00:14
to the office of the Minister of Education.
00:16
You went out to the Senate in Cardiff, their message was clear.
00:19
There's something special and unique about Llanbed.
00:22
And in my opinion, and among other people here today,
00:27
you can recreate the whole of Llanbed
00:30
and move it all into another town.
00:33
It's also a social issue.
00:35
It's a community issue.
00:37
And I think that if the campus in Llanbed was for any purpose
00:42
and Israeli students came up here,
00:46
it would lead to a loss of income for the town.
00:50
The town has depended on the college for 200 years.
00:55
Following a massive protest last month in Llanbed,
00:59
members have now come to the Senate to do their part.
01:03
Their hope is that if the college doesn't agree,
01:07
they'll have a Senate member.
01:09
Members across the country and across the country
01:12
have called on the college to work.
01:15
Once you've got the campus, it's gone.
01:18
The whole history and ethos and opportunities in the future
01:24
have been lost.
01:25
So we're asking the government to do something.
01:28
There's an election coming up in a year.
01:31
Maybe there'll be a change of policy.
01:33
We'll then be changing the political framework
01:36
for all the universities.
01:38
The university has said that the future of Llanbed Campus
01:41
is of great importance to them.
01:43
And that they continue to discuss with other institutions
01:46
to try and ensure a prosperous future and a sustainable economy.
01:50
The Welsh Government is also keeping an eye on the situation.
01:53
That's what could be the worst year in Llanbed for some of these members.
