Subject: Languages at Glasgow University
David Wells kindly posted a message about the threat to Modern Languages at Glasgow, but some colleagues have reported difficulties opening the link. Apologies for re-sending this, but I hope the following gives everyone the link both to the petition and to some background information. Many thanks for your support.
Modern Language teaching at Glasgow has just been threatened with drastic cuts.
If you agree that languages are important in UK Higher Education and oppose the cuts in Modern Languages (Czech, Polish, Russian, Italian, French, German) proposed by the University of Glasgow management, please sign the petition below. The decision will be made in a few days, so this is urgent.
It's free to sign the petition and takes only a few seconds. To do so, just click on:
