Further evidence of the adverse consequences of course cuts and closures for working class and lower income students in particular. We need central oversight of the consequences of these cuts before the sector sleep-walks into a national catastrophe via uncoordinated local cuts.

45% of this year's 18-year old intake expect to live at home and commute to university, up from 43% last year. Disadvantaged students are 3 times more likely to commute than other undergraduates. Very comprehensive, but doesn't address impact of programme closures and growing cold spots. 1/2

Definitely the case here. In two weeks we find which 9 of 12 in my group will be gone. The other 3 will then have a month to prepare and find hourly-paid replacements for all the classes across two degrees. And supervise 25 PhDs. Plus admin and pastoral care and research. Management doesn’t care.

If you're arriving at uni this autumn, or maybe dropping your kids, remember that there could be a ghostly phalanx of absent redundant staff, lost modules and degraded degrees making it a very unhappy place. It may *look* the same, but it won't *be* the same. www.ft.com/content/e5b0...

So it's farewell to the History subject area at the University of Hertfordshire, not the first nor the last to go. One of the best departments in the country, just extinguished like a snap of the fingers. Think of the waste. (1/2)

Shout out for the scores of learned societies and subject associations, especially but not only in the Humanities, that are keeping their heads when all about them are losing theirs. Providing funds for researchers is hard work. It's also such good and important work.

I’ve just finished as external for English Literature and Creative Writing at Exeter. It’s a superb department with an amazing array of modules and brilliant teaching staff. Any sensible University management team would see it as a jewel in their crown. I’m disgusted by these proposed redundancies.
