The Hunter question was raised at an SRC in 1974, resulting in Motion 119/74. Moved: Jobson/Martin

"That this Association oppose the demolition of Hunter Building and proposes the alternative of upgrading and retaining this building in such a way as to maintain it's structural features intact."

Is it possible that this policy requires re-examination in the light of the findings of later studies?

While Association Policy on Hunter is definite, if outdated, policy from the chancellor and his colleagues is officially "undecided". Unofficially it appears, at the least, a little contradictory. The official policy seems to be that no decision has been reached regarding Hunter —. It has not been decided that Hunter will remain (and if so, with what alterations,) and it has not been decided that Hunter will be demolished.

While this policy seems extremely neutral and non-committal, these are fair grounds for saying that it is in fact somewhat inaccurate.
