It astounds me that universities are cutting. Yes - revenues are dropping. But cuts just lead to lower revenues. Cuts and reductions just lead to more of them.
Margot FinnAnd not just Exeter. At least 2 History Leicester FBAs have had to leave the University to stay in the profession due to risk of redundancy, and they won't be the only ones. The much broader issue affects thousands of excellent academics across a spectrum of disciplines (including STEM ones). 1/2
1/ Happy to share our paper 'Still Instrumentally Inclusive' w/ @turnbulldugarte.com in @apsrjournal.bsky.social. Understanding homonationalism remains important. Recent events (Berlin) have shown how quickly LGBT+ rights can become instrumentalized in debates about immigration and Islam.

Happy to answer questions folks have!

Sincere thanks to @migcitizenapsa.bsky.social for its 2026 Emerging Scholar award! Widening and deepening the reach of political science motivates a lot of what I do, so it’s gratifying to know others recognize that goal, too. Congrats to the other recipients: apsanet.org/membership/o... #polisky

Aside from the personal sympathy and anger on behalf of the staff, I also still feel complete bafflement that the government is letting the sector fall apart. Direct job cuts lead to indirect cuts on other staff at universities, in the area, and suppliers.
Iain SoutarMany are following this. Those at risk here on Exeter's Cornwall campus include myself and colleagues in Geography, Environmental Science, Marine Science, Renewable Energy, and Environmental Maths, Humanities, and 1/2 the Environment and Sustainability Institute. I really hope this can be resolved.
