Against The Cuts: Scratch Special

Against The Cuts: Scratch Special

In response to the university-wide funding cuts and the extensive £1.4million cuts to the Faculty of PME announced this week, Scratch Radio is bringing you two hours of live discussion and debate this Friday from 2pm.

Join Dan Richards and representatives of the student-body and Students’ Union to air your opinions and get an idea of the impact of the vast cuts proposed. We’re also hoping to make the show available to download as a podcast from our main website.

In the last week, it has been announced that there will be £1.4million of cuts from the Faculty of PME - which works out at £230,000 funding cuts from the UK’s leading School of Media. Leading to a 30% decrease in the number of staff and equipment within the department, and the proposed closure of a number of specialisms, Scratch is backing the fight against the cuts.

Join the fight against the cuts now! You can find more information on the two Facebook groups Protect the PME Faculty from £1.4MILLION cuts and Save Birmingham School of Media from £230,000 cuts.

On tomorrow’s show we want to hear what you think. How will the cuts impact you? And, more importantly, what can be done? Get in touch with the studio on all the usual ways - check out the main site for more information.

Make sure you’re tuned in tomorrow from 2pm and make sure you join the fight against the university-wide cuts. What do you think needs to be done?
