Departmental closures? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this area of study? Localised entirely within the modern languages department? #saveUoAlanguages
Single honours – cut. Risk of redundancy (barring Gaelic) – still in place. Incredibly disappointing decisions by court today.

I'm off to join the rally today at 5.30pm Aberdeen University. Trans people support modern languages!!! ✊️🏳️⚧️ #saveUoALanguages
That awkward moment when one of those pesky lecturers whose department you want to close goes and gets a nomination for Best UG Lecturer. So, University of Aberdeen, what does happen next? Voluntary severance or plain old redundancy? Before or after the awards ceremony?

Shelves upon shelves of French, German, & Spanish literature here on the fourth floor of Aberdeen Uni Library Why are they here if not to be taught, read, and studied?

A traditional song of University of Aberdeen (originally written in GAELIC!!), as recorded in 1935 in The Gaudie.
We have a rich history of languages, let's not forget it.

Doing a PhD University of Aberdeen was tough. My supervisor Nadia Kiwan was the one person who made that experience worthwhile. She championed my achievements & secured additional funding for me when I was drowning in debt. People make the university #SaveUoAlanguages
What I have to say on the situation at University of Aberdeen. Please make yourselves aware of what’s happening so we can stop it before it’s too late.

soooo my uni is axing its languages degrees. this is an abhorrent decision for far more reasons than i can fit in a tweet, though i have included some below.
please, help #SaveUOALanguages by boosting this post, especially if you run in academic or language circles!!
STRIKE ACTION WITHDRAWN: SMT have agreed to lift the risk of redundancy from MLTI staff. A win! #saveUoAlanguages
From today’s staff news. So the mishandling of the redundancy consultation is performance the management group would like to endorse then? Interesting #saveUoAlanguages
Staff in languages at Edinburgh express their support for colleagues and students in languages at Aberdeen, including Swedish. #saveUoAlanguages - change.org/p/save-languag…

Good to luck all protesting the plans today and, crucially, indicating the numerous alternatives starting with discontinuation of current plans.

According to University of Aberdeen’s own website:
“no skill is more important for today's global citizens than the ability to communicate in another language.”

This is us, a pair o 'double graduates', MAs and PhDs University of Aberdeen. Both completed the #Gaelic language course and did history degrees requiring Scandinavian languages, Dutch and German. #SaveUoALanguages
this aged well, University of Aberdeen: you've betrayed all four 'strategic' themes, your students, staff, & the wider community. Ashamed to be associated with you, but forever grateful for the tutelage over 10 years of some truly inspiring teachers and mentors. #SaveUOALanguages
