@gsoh31 It's such a shame to view professional services colleagues as adversaries rather than potential allies - these kinds of comments only serve to strengthen unhelpful 'academic' v 'non-academic' binaries, and make everyone feel worse about the environments in which they work.

[YetanotherKateJones @YetanotherKateJ]

@gsoh31 As others have said, the flaw in your argument is you're at once saying 'academics are expected to do all this stuff' & at the same time asserting (with no evidence) that prof services staff are increasingly responsible for 'controlling academics rather than supporting them'

@jntod And presumably then ‘save’ CW at the last minute…? which they won’t be able to do having dismantled the supporting structures around it.

[YetanotherKateJones @YetanotherKateJ]

Useful clarification on the ‘UEA cuts Creative Writing’ story that many of us heard on @BBCRadio4 this morning.

[Jeremy Noel-Tod @jntod]

@YetanotherKateJ It's the easy angle to report. But, unfortunately, it aligns rather neatly with the management plan to cut the faculty around it.

[Jeremy Noel-Tod @jntod]

A 'UEA scraps creative writing' story is taking hold. That's not what's happening. UEA Humanities are facing redundancies across many areas that feed a brilliant writing course (including Literature). That's *worse* in the long term because it's a culture / a mindset / a library.

[YetanotherKateJones @YetanotherKateJ]

@jonathancoe It is so short-sighted and wrong and deeply, deeply sad. The lost impact of the department, not just on students but on the wider region, will be huge. Solidarity to all colleagues affected.

[YetanotherKateJones @YetanotherKateJ]

Absolutely reeling from the news that they are cutting the Creative Writing course at UEA?!?! Talk about shooting yourself in the foot!!!

I am Director of Admissions for English here @UoNEnglish

With the support of @EnglishAssoc I have set up a forum for all admissions tutors in English in the UK. If that’s you, ask your Head of School/Dept to pass on the email message I just sent them.
