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