SOS call for @GoldsmithsUoL Leadership. The savings gained at end of July will be spent, and then some, by October. By then, it will have been cheaper to do nothing. It is illogical. Making big decisions in a panic never leads to good outcomes. A final call: please think again.

The details of what is happening in Music at Goldsmiths are brutal. As things stand they will lose a collaborative Leverhulme Doctoral College grant (7 funded PhDs) and an AHRC grant. Staff FTE reduced by 35%. Negative impacts on curriculum and pastoral care cannot be avoided.
Universities are facing a financial crisis before the new academic year with an analysis finding that scores will have to cut courses, shut departments and put thousands of jobs at risk ⬇️ thetimes.com/uk/politics/art…
