You cannot be a premier university without fundamental sciences, especially pure mathematics.

The Open University. Please don't proceed with this short-sighted plan at a time when Maths is increasingly popular in the UK with students and seen as vital by governments and employers.

Higher education is about furthering knowledge and having a positive impact on the society. Whilst having a competitive strategy is vital for Universities in the current socio-economic climate, I feel that we must not forget that what got the HE institutions to where they are today is fundamental research into mathematics and sciences. Ceasing research into pure mathematics appears to be a money-driven strategy to gain short/medium-term competitive advantage, which would be understandable if Universities were businesses. Please reconsider.

Pure maths is not irrelevant maths, it's a source of new ideas, approaches and techniques right across science and technology, as many students find.

It takes minutes to destroy and years to build. In the end, Leicester will find itself trying to re-establish a department they destroyed, at higher cost and lesser quality. Think first, think far, then act.
