Getting rid of basic research for the allure of the shiny corporate investments is shooting yourself in the foot and the people responsible for this reprehensible decision know this full well. They just don't care.

I can't imagine many students will want to study maths at a "university" with no mathematicians!

With no reasoning can this decision be justified. I wish to defend it for the cause of defending integrity to the name of university world wide and the academic order which brings about true progress and continuation of human knowledge.

I wish the university could see the irony in getting rid of pure mathematics in favor of more AI research.

Mathematics is the key to all understanding, particularly in the research of artificial intelligence. There is not one without the other, and the element of human creativity can never be made redundant.

I remember reading about this initially on the math subreddit but never noticed a petition until now. Hope it’s not too late :(

Disappointed to see a university of all places defund such an area of academia. I will always look down at this university as long as this stands

This is typical of individuals who have no idea of the value of knowledge and would rather just create short term false statistics to justify half baked but ultimately unjust ideas.

Pure mathematics is both a beautiful subject in itself and the foundation of applied mathematics ,science and engineering
Ridiculous!
