Dear Beate,

Thanks so much for telling us about this. I have forwarded what Chris Brink says to Nancy Rothwell, President and VC of the University of Manchester, with a question about our own institution's commitment to EU staff. (So far, this does not seem to have gone much beyond a few fine words.)

Maybe colleagues in other universities would be interested in doing the same?

All best,
Wiebke

Subject: Strong words from Newcastle University's VC on Brexit

Dear all,

Prof Chris Brink, VC at Newcastle University, has just published a very strong statement about Brexit in our university newsletter. I feel it warrants wider dissemination: it would be good if more HEI leaders followed suit...
