- This is heartbreaking. We know how important foundation year programmes are for students - in the wake of COVID19 they're even more important. Not everyone gets to uni in the traditional way. Not everyone has the privilege of an education which offers or supports traditional pathways.
- In yet more devastating news, the VC has confirmed her plans to cut 80% of academic staff from Essex Pathways, our foundation year department. This would effectively close down all our existing foundation year programmes through the back door. But it's not a done deal yet. Please share urgently.
