A mathematics department with no researchers in pure mathematics is not complete.

I find the notion that all research at universities must by tailored to trends in industry completely absurd, sad and harmful for future scientific progress and reputation of any university that makes decisions based on this.

It is a shame for the University's management.
If they go on with that plan I think it would be less hypocritical if they consider to stop using the word university in the title of the institution.

It's a huge mistake to propose the cease of research in pure mathematics. Actually, to ensure a future research identity in AI, etc, pure mathematics will be the key.

Surely AI, Computer Science have a very strong link to Mathematics, undermining one will likely compromise the others.

I am speechless as to the short-sightedness of these measures; King's College London learned this the hard way, only a few years after closing their Chemistry Department.

More people understanding mathematics would mean less people prone to fake news and economical frauds... Think about it!

I would not have thought such a short-sighted plan could be seriously proposed for real. It is good material for a distopic novel.

Very shortsighted! To shrink the research area for foundations of computer science will make the university weak eventually.
