I am deeply unhappy with this move (“Courses to go under university cuts plan”, The Herald, May 11).
This seems a very short-sighted move which will rob the faculty and university of the ability to provide undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. Sociology is a small subject area, with a group of dedicated staff who work hard with limited resources to provide excellence in both teaching and research. My area of external examiner responsibility is on the MA programme and I am always impressed by the quality of student work, the relationship between staff and students and the core importance of the staff’s research activity in the quality of the student experience.
Strathclyde University sociology move is short-sighted
Strathclyde University's proposal to "disinvest" from sociology will lead to a loss in academic and other posts.
