My former employer, the University of Nottingham, has axed its undergrad music and languages programs—but don't worry, there are still five separate degrees you can get in AI.
This is what happens when you corporatize education. What a joke.

You might have heard that the University of Nottingham plans to suspend all languages courses. This is very disappointing and heartbreaking.

Die Kritiker von Trump hatten mit allem Recht.
Vielleicht sollten wir den Kritikern der AfD ebenfalls glauben, aber am besten, bevor wir sie an die Macht lassen.

A reminder that people like Michael Gove, David Frost, Dan Hannan, Kate Hoey, Matthew Elliott and Gisela Stuart received life peerages for dragging the UK out of the EU.
While Brexit is an unmitigated disaster at every level they will never have to own up to the mess they deliberately created.

Awful news from Cardiff, solidarity to staff facing this terrible decision. Languages at Cardiff has always been at the forefront of our field, particularly their mentoring programme to support MFL uptake in schools. And the irony of proposing a School of Global Humanities without Modern Languages
"Ceasing subjects and programmes in Ancient History, Modern Languages and Translation, Music, Nursing, and Religion and Theology"
"School of Global Humanities (merge English, Communication and Philosophy, Welsh, and remaining elements of History Archaeology and Religion and Modern Languages)."
