I came to sussex specifically for this course. If they kill it off they are ruining the reputation of the whole school.
Academic diversity matters. Shutting things down behind closed doors is cowardly.
My daughter studied here and the linguistics department was excellent. So sad to see management acting like this. Please reconsider.
this is total garbage. sussex is meant to be about progressive learning not shutting down subjects without asking anyone first. sort it out.
Linguistics is such a vital part of the university. You cant just cut a whole department because it doesn't fit some spreadsheet. Keep the courses open!

Management needs to listen to the people actually doing the work. Stop the cuts!
