In response to the rationale offered by Senior Management at Keele for the closure of the Music Programmes, colleagues in Music have written a statement that challenges some of the key claims underpinning the proposal to close the department.
As some of you might be aware, last week Senate members were provided with two papers for consideration related to the future of Music programmes at Keele. The first was a proposal for Senate to formally approve the withdrawal of all Music programmes at Keele, the second was a proposal to explore how Music provision would be continued on campus after the Music degrees were withdrawn.
