Today the news is MORE CUTS - this time to academic staff in the Arts and Humanities department.
American Studies, Cymraeg, English Literature, Media Studies, Modern Languages, Translation, Classics and Ancient Eygyptology, English Language, History, Medieval Studies, Politics and International Relations and War and Society students, your courses are under attack.
The result for students, less value for your money. You will pay the same money but can expect less contact time, longer waits for feedback and less of the books you need in the library.
The information available says there will be compulsory and optional redundancies to your lecturers and academic staff, with postgraduate students filling in the gaps.
These cuts will have a real impact on your education and experience - we must make students aware they are happening and resist them together.
I am keen for the good relationship between the Students' Union and the University to continue, hopefully we have the same aims, the best education and experience for Swansea students.
However the prospect of cuts just a day after the Vice-Chancellors bonus was revealed is a real slap in the face and an attack on Swansea students best interests!
