Proposed plant biology and agriculture course closures at the University of Nottingham
By BGEN, Coordinator
Dear Bgen Members and Supporters,
Many of you may already be aware of recent announcements regarding the proposed suspension of several undergraduate courses in Plant Biology, Agriculture, Food Science, and related disciplines at the University of Nottingham’s Sutton Bonington Campus.
Given the potential implications for botanical and environmental education in the UK, I wanted to ensure our community was aware of the discussion taking place. An Open Letter expressing sector concerns and calling for further consultation has been drafted by colleagues from across universities and botanic institutions.
For transparency, below is a downloadable copy of that letter and a link to the public statement. Members may wish to read and consider it in the context of their own work or institutions.
This notice is shared for information only; any individual engagement or response is, of course, at members’ discretion.
If you wish to sign the Open Letter, you may do so here:
