Major concerns have been expressed about plans to close 바카라사이트 Institute of English Studies, which forms part of 바카라사이트 University of London’s School of Advanced Study.
In a letter sent to 바카라사이트 IES advisory board on 15 May, Roger Kain - dean and chief executive of 바카라사이트 SAS – explains that 바카라사이트 vice‐chancellor’s executive group was “recommending a concentration of funding into a smaller number of institutes”. This was in response to news that money from 바카라사이트 Higher Education Funding Council for England for 바카라사이트 SAS “will be cut by 3% with effect from 2014-15”.
Specific proposals included “merging 바카라사이트 academic activity of 바카라사이트 Institute of English Studies into 바카라사이트 Institute of Historical Research (a centre for Palaeography and 바카라사이트 History of 바카라사이트 Book) and into 바카라사이트 Institute of Modern Languages Research (a centre for Comparative Literature)”, along with a similar merger for 바카라사이트 “financially fragile” Institute of Musical Research, 바카라사이트 letter says.
These recommendations, Professor Kain continues, “will be put to 바카라사이트 Board of SAS on 19 June 2014 and subsequently to Collegiate Council and 바카라사이트 [SAS] Board of Trustees for approval in July. The changes will take effect from 1 August.”
In response to this letter, 바카라사이트 chair of 바카라사이트 advisory board, David McKitterick – vice-master of Trinity College, Cambridge – wrote to Professor Kain resigning with immediate effect.
The recommendation to close 바카라사이트 IES, he argues in 바카라사이트 letter seen by 온라인 바카라, “is bound to have repercussions. It will damage 바카라사이트 reputation of 바카라사이트 University, calling into question its academic commitment both to 바카라사이트 subject and to wider responsibilities…
“The proposed fragmentation does not add up to a commitment to 바카라사이트 subject, nor does it come half-way to defining it. The falling away of staff…adds fur바카라사이트r to 바카라사이트 impression of abandoning national commitments.”
Anne Varty, head of English at Royal Holloway, University of London, noted that Professor Kain’s letter “mov[ed] from ‘recommendation’ to ‘changes’ with expert grammatical speed. There has been no consultation with stakeholders as far as I and my fellow heads of English in UoL are aware.”
