The most short-sighted proposal I have seen in a long long time. I hope the upper administration will reconsider and correct the terrible mistake .

Could the University VC be encourage to reflect on the Bond Review (https://epsrc.ukri.org/newsevents/pubs/era-of-maths/)? For example, page 8: *Factors that have contributed to the increasing importance of MS in recent years*.

I am a Computer Scientist. I consider my work to be more applied than pure mathematics. And I cannot do my work without the assurance that I have a pure mathematics department at my univeristy

Fundamental research into pure mathematics is needed to give us the tools to deal with future practical problems.

AI is still that much in its infancy that researchers so far not even managed to reproduce the intelligence of a simple insect like an ant or a bee, and I doubt that digitalization and data "science" are sciences worthy of being pursued at a university at all. -- Giving up research in pure mathematics in favour of these topics would effectively mean the partial suicide of the university as a respectable research institution.

Pure math is quite important to learn and do research AI , computational modelling, digitalisation and data science.

"to ensure a future research identity in AI, computational modelling, digitalisation and data science" you need a strong base in pure math!!

Short-sighted doesn't even start to describe this appalling piece of blinkered decision-making. Pure mathematics is fundamental to knowledge creation in the sciences.

Shameful short-sightedness to cut off the roots and expect the tree to grow.
This is ridiculous
