ALT Today was my last day at @astonuniversity. I came as a graduate colloquial ass. ( sic my title was too long for the space on the staff list) for 9 months... in 1995. I am grateful for all the wonderful people I met over the years, and even for the few as****es who taught me what not to be! Thanks for giving me so many opportunities, Aston, and for preparibg me for my chair in French synchronic Lunguistics @ Antwerpen. Time for packing now. Back in the game mid-September from Belgium!

The jobs being cut include: 2 professors; 2 associate professors (removing all from Surrey Morphology); 6 senior lecturers or lecturers (closing the GGA program & removing all Spanish & German)".
ALT A slide which says "IMMEDIATE IMPACT. The GGA program, which all students, not just SLL can make use of, will no longer be available. Current students will lose the expertise & support of their lecturers, personal tutors and supervisors. Modules may be cut which students came to Surrey to learn & remaining staff will be stretched to accomodate".
