I'd be grateful if you could let as many people as possible know about this disgrace, here is our press release: "Colleagues in the Department of Archaeology at the University of Sheffield have today been informed that the University of Sheffield Council has decided to endorse the proposal of the University Executive Board to close our Department. This means the unequivocal end of Archaeology in the University of Sheffield. We received this information in a presentation by the Vice Chancellor, which lasted 13 minutes. There was no ability to engage or respond as our microphones and cameras were kept off the entire time. We condemn in the strongest possible terms the decision taken by the university as well as the rudeness and lack of professionalism of the form of communication chosen by the VC. This is a decision that harms both the University and the City of Sheffield, within which our Department is strongly embedded. Our campaign to oppose this calamitous decision will continue." -- Umberto Albarella Department of Archaeology University of Sheffield Minalloy House 10-16 Regent Street Sheffield S1 3NJ United Kingdom Telephone: (+) 44 (0) 114 22 22 943 Fax: (+) 44 (0) 114 22 25 109 http://www.sheffield.ac.uk/archaeology/people/albarella For MSc in Osteoarchaeology see: https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/archaeology/postgraduate_taught/msc_osteoarchaeology For Zooarchaeology short courses see: http://www.shef.ac.uk/archaeology/research/zooarchaeology-lab/short-course Oxford Handbook of Zooarchaeology: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-oxford-handbook-of-zooarchaeology-9780199686476?cc=gb&lang=en Zooarchaeology Review of Central England: https://research.historicengland.org.uk/Report.aspx?i=16393&ru=%2fResults.aspx%3fp%3d1%26n%3d10%26ry%3d2019%26a%3d826%26ns%3d1 "No one has the right to obey" Hannah Arendt ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the ARCH-THEORY list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/WA-JISC.exe?SUBED1=ARCH-THEORY&A=1 This message was issued to members of www.jiscmail.ac.uk/ARCH-THEORY, a mailing list hosted by www.jiscmail.ac.uk, terms & conditions are available at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/policyandsecurity/
