I am disgusted by this decision. This institute cannot be realistically deemed a "University" by any reasonable onlooker. Seems more like a tech boot camp.

Why administrators cannot see two steps ahead? Any one thinking that all bussiness about digitilasition and such can go any further without pure mathematics is terribly wrong

The decision to remove pure mathematics from the university is unacceptable, and sets an appalling precedent.

No applied mathematics is possible without pure one.

This is so short sighted, many of the most important breakthroughs in technological advancement occurred as a result of breakthroughs in pure mathematics. Please re-consider the lack of investment in this important subject!

The process is truly shocking, and raises serious questions about the members of the Executive Board that are pushing this through.

This decision demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of what a university is and of what mathematics is.

Firing pure mathematics faculty to replace them with data science and AI, marks Leicester as an ugly butt of a joke of an institution.

Education is not an industry. Pure/basic research institutions shouldn't be profitable.

Claiming to promote only immediately profitable and fashionable research and neglecting fundamental research - what a destructive way to run a knowledge institution.

Near sighted short-term effect decision from peuple who do not understand how the research and teaching in mathematics (pure or applied) work. Sawing the branch they (and we) are seating on...
