University of Leicester moves to cut all pure maths professors
Original: University of Leicester to make redundant all pure math professors (2021)
The University of Leicester has been reported as planning to make all of its pure mathematics professors redundant. The move, which dates from 2021, has drawn criticism from mathematicians and academics who see it as a threat to research-led teaching in fundamental maths, with many arguing that cutting pure maths weakens a university's academic standing and undermines job security for senior scholars.
Why now: The mass redundancy of an entire academic department touches on wider concerns about university cuts and the treatment of academics.
