Save Research at CCW!

Dear Prof Crow,

Having learnt about the restructuring of CCW and that the jobs of research staff specializing on East Asian art and design are put at risk, we are deeply concerned and would like to request you to consider rectifying the matter.

As much as we appreciate the college’s attempt to streamline resources, we nonetheless cannot understand why East Asia would ever be considered irrelevant. We strongly believe that exposures to different cultures are essential for well-rounded training for artists and designers. Our specialists in the area [names redacted] are established and respected scholars in their respective fields. They have been bringing to the school their expertise and substantial academic output, and also opportunities for research students to take part in international conferences and to publish in reputed journals. Further to helping students build their academic credentials, these connections also raise CCW’s international profile.

These staff members are critical for attracting students with diverse scholarly interests, who would otherwise not be here. Many of these students are international students who contribute substantially to the college’s finance, as their fees are way higher than domestic students. Although we do not see universities as profitable businesses, that such income is conducive to the college’s financial sustainability cannot be undermined.

At a personal level, those of us who are currently doing our PhD at CCW are very worried that our ongoing research might be jeopardized. We are sure that you would agree that academic expertise, connections in the respective fields, understanding of the students’ progress and a long-term relationship are all indispensable for PhD supervision. Although you have stated in your message to all research students on May 8 and discussion with student rep Amanda Johansson that our supervision will be continually taken care of, substitution is unpreferred as our current DOS/supervisors were originally appointed because they were the most suitable faculty members the college could offer to us.

Last but not least, we also fear that the case might damage CCW's reputation. The failure to acknowledge the importance of cross-cultural understanding might be seen as a sign of parochialism. The discontinuation of tenures without strong justifications and open communication is procedurally unjust. The unconsulted change of a pivotal part of our research programme can be alarming to both current as well as prospective students. Any one of these criticisms can put the college's good repute at risk.

In view of the above reasons, we hope that you would safeguard the tenures of these staff members. We trust that you would take it as your responsibility to protect the interests of the college and its research students. Thank you very much for your kind consideration.

Yours sincerely

Current PhD students, CCW
