Where on earth is the Office for Students. These courses have been advertised, applicants have been engaging with the advertised material. The Consumer Protection Law as applied to #UKHE (🤢) declares that universities have to be accurate in their information from the first contact with applicants.

Languages are so important. Students also learn cultural awareness, empathy, criticality, communication skills and more. The tendency of universities to target them for closure is ignorant and short-sighted. There’s so much more to learning a language than ‘learning a language’.

"The decision will make the East Midlands a "cold spot" for languages, potentially creating a "crisis" in the provision of qualified secondary school modern foreign language teachers." www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/leicest...

EGM next week!
