University in the mire
It seems that Swansea University’s determination to close the Chemistry and Philosophy departments, whilst punishing dissent is backfiring on them. A group of Philosophy students have announced that they are to sue the College for breach of contract because "the cutting of university departments and the continued suspension of philosophy lecturer, Colwyn Williamson, means that they are not getting the education they were promised."
With all this disciplinary action and referrals to the police, and with the Treasurer of the Swansea AUT reportedly threatened as well, it is perhaps time for the college authorities to stop digging.
