Noam Chomsky, known as the father of modern linguistics and a renowned political activist, said plans by Strathclyde University to cut music, geography, community education and sociology were “very odd”.
The intervention came on the day a student protest against the cuts was marred by two arrests as police scuffled with demonstrators outside the university’s main building.
