Removing rapid transit that cuts *through* the centre of campus- would be a step backwards. Improvements could be made of how it is currently routed.
As someone who lived in residence, deerfield and further away along the Baseline axis over the 4 years I commuted to AC- I can not stress enough how key the 118 is to this. There is a constant churn of thousands of people living similarly for a significant portion of their life. This whole area of nepean is anchored in part by AC and if we're going to make transit woven into actual people's lives, we shouldn't be pushing rapid transit out to main avenues and away from where the people actually need to be.
Rebuilding the road through the centre of the campus to be a more effective station would be a better way forward- and less a garbage / loading dock route.
