Dear Professor Debra Humphris

I am a prospective student and am reconsidering applying to the University of Brighton.

I am writing to express my serious concerns about plans by the University of Brighton to make widespread redundancies and the impact this is likely to have on the university's reputation for learning, teaching and research.

I have seen the widespread coverage and I am disturbed by your unwillingness to meaningfully consult with staff, and by your apparent disregard for those who have already expressed opposition to your plans to make staff redundant.

The cuts would mean a huge reduction in lecturers in subjects including art, media, education, architecture, engineering, humanities and sport science.

I am worried that the student experience will be seriously undermined by an inadequate numbers of staff, and feel that these decisions – that are so opposed by students, staff and the global academic community alike – are severely, possibly irrevocably, damaging the reputation of the University of Brighton.

As a prospective student, I will be seriously reconsidering my application to study here.

I ask you to immediately cease the present redundancy process and convene open discussions with campus unions and other stakeholders around the future of the University of Brighton.

Yours sincerely
