University of Leicester to cut all pure mathematics professors
Original: University of Leicester to make redundant all pure math professors (2021)
The University of Leicester is moving to make all of its pure mathematics professors redundant as part of a departmental restructuring. The plan, which drew wide criticism when it emerged, would eliminate senior research posts in pure maths while reshaping the department toward other areas. Academics and mathematicians have condemned the move as a damaging blow to fundamental research at a British university.
Why now: The unusual scale of the proposed redundancies and concerns about the future of pure mathematics research keep the story in discussion.
