It would be a great pity to axe such a fruitful department.

]]> Sat, 20 Mar 2010 04:35:51 UTC 7187539 Mr Anonymous [Signature #405] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7186342?utm_medium=rss Given the contemporary relevance of sport in modern Britain (not just the Olympics in 2012), this is a very short-sighted view. How can cities such as Southampton be taken seriously, when the powers that be have a provincial attitude like this? Other regional cities, where sport is valued, will leave Southampton further behind - and even gain from the expertise of those who will lose their jobs.

Remember that your most important asset and greatest resources are not your buildings but your colleagues that occupy them. I urge the University to reconsider their position and undertake meaningful consultation with the UCU to find a resolve that will be acceptable to both parties. UCU Southampton City College Branch support our colleagues at the University of Southampton.
