Ridiculous is an understatement. After laying off such brilliant faculty and essentially destroying the linguistics school as well as other schools in A&H, the university has the audacity to advertise for staff in those departments. This only adds insult to injury.
It's sad to see the closure of arts and humanities departments across universities. I want to see our universities flourish with students given a wide variety of of choice.
Coverage of the proposed closure of Linguistics at @HuddersfieldUni is featured in the latest issue of @PrivateEyeNews. Senior managers need to get round the negotiating table to stop the reputational damage they are causing to our University @ucu@huducu
1/3 of the cabinet studied humanities at uni. Johnson: Classics. Barclay: History. Gove: English. Kwarteng: Classics & Hist. Rees-Mogg: History. Michelle Donelan (Minister for FE & HE) studied Hist & Politics. Impossible to know how they did so well with ‘low-value’ degrees 🤔
The fight to save @HuddLinguistics is still underway. Linguistics at Huddersfield us know internationally for its cutting-edge and innovative research. Students come to Huddersfield on the basis that the course is taught by the best linguists in the country. (1)
.@AHHuddersfield@HuddersfieldUni seeing as PALA and Stephen Fry himself and now BAAL have written to you, what will it take to see that you are destroying a world-class department?
Thank you to everyone for the outburst of support in our fight against the closure of Linguistics @HuddersfieldUni. We now have a petition against the proposed redundancies which we’d be grateful if you would sign and share: https://t.co/wOhCicMCE6
Ahahah imagine in your final year of uni, your whole degree being completely changed because the uni has decided to make most of the lecturers redundant 🥰 yeh uni of hudd you’ve proper fucked up the arts and humanities department
Most of my lecturers are going to be made redundant meaning that all of my university third year modules will be chosen for me, with non-specific lecturers being sent in to teach. Please sign this petition to help stop this, it would be hugely appreciated! https://t.co/EROHvKaire
My friends developed an inside joke while I wasn’t there and I’ll be taking each of them to court individually and suing for intense psychological abuse
