- King's College, London
We, the students and friends of the Philosophy Department at King’s College London, present
this letter in response to the events initiated by the Management in recent days.
On 28th January 2010, the student body of the School of Arts and Humanities received an email
from Doctor Sonia Massai, (Deputy Head of School). This email informed us that “…the School
of Arts and Humanities is putting forward a set of proposals aimed at reshaping the structure of
the School and reducing staffing costs.”
In this letter we particularly want to object to two strands of this “restructuring”. Firstly, the
implementation of the proposals will result in job losses for three valued and widely respected
academics in the faculty; Professor Shalom Lappin, Doctor Wilfried Meyer-Viol, and Professor
Charles Travis. Secondly, and more broadly, the restructuring requires all faculty members in the
School to reapply for their own positions in competition with each other and within a short
timescale, with a view to making further redundancies.
*
We fully understand the broader context within which this course of action is being proposed. It is
clear that the severe financial pressures caused by recently announced Governmental budget cuts
demand a considered and intelligent response. Although the email of 28th January kindly invited the
students to “make recommendations or raise questions”, we have yet to be presented with the proposals
themselves, despite having requested access to the consultation document.
Our official opportunities to raise objections are: (1) through our Head of Department; (2)
through Student Representatives; or (3) by attending a public meeting, the date of which has not
yet been communicated to us. As currently devised, all three avenues are inadequate.
(1) During the ongoing consultation period, our Head of Department will himself be in the
process of re-applying for his own position in accordance with the proposals. On top of this, his
day-to-day administrative, teaching and pastoral duties will of course not lessen to any extent.
Given this occupational situation, and given his responsibility to manage and support the other
academic staff who will also being going through the reapplication process, we do not feel it fair
for us to further burden him with this responsibility given the unenviable situation in which he
now finds himself.
(2) Although our Graduate Research Student Representative has proved himself to be a highly
capable individual he, along with the rest of us, has not had access to the consultation document
despite having formally requested it. As a consequence, he is not in a position to convey an
informed and considered response to the proposals on our behalf. As it stands, the avenue he has
been offered through which to represent the student body (at present a discussion of a proposal
with undisclosed details at a meeting with an undisclosed date) is as opaque as the making of the
proposals to be discussed. Furthermore, we have no assurances and (at present) no reason to
believe that our views will be listened to; that they will impact upon the machinations of the
decision makers.
(3) Nor is the “open forum”, we believe, a structure through which a detailed and reasoned
discussion of the “reshaping” proposals will be possible, even though of course it is a necessary
part of any public process of consultation. The degree to which this event would truly be open is
called into question by the lack of official public information pertaining to the proposals being
developed by the Management. Such a meeting is likely to “bottleneck” student feeling, rather
than to provide an opportunity for contributions that could be taken seriously.
We are forced to conclude that “consultation” is a cosmetic addition to this proposal. Were we
merely to rely upon the procedures offered to us by the College we would be unable to make any
form of sustained, reasoned, and responsible contribution to the future of the School of Arts and
Humanities. As a result we advance our reasoned objections in this letter. We offer it in the true
spirit of consultation and as a part of our contribution to the proper open forum this university
requires if it is to maintain the respect of its own students and academic staff, and of the
academic community at large.
*
The main body of this letter is divided into four argumentative parts. Section I objects to the
rationale behind the already-threatened redundancies of two esteemed members of the faculty
and the refusal renew the contract of a third. We will argue that these job losses will have severe
adverse effects on both undergraduate and postgraduate students and that this is in conflict with
the assurance given in Doctor Massai’s email that students would be “largely unaffected” by the
proposals, and also in violation of the College’s Core Code of Practice and other College
documents.
Sections II and III argue that the decision-making process has left neither students nor staff in a
position to rationally accept the more general proposal of “restructuring”; section II tackles
transparency issues arising from the nature of the “consultation” process that we apparently are
now in, whereas section III points out that no alternative options have openly been discussed by
the Management.
Section IV seeks to show that the proposed redundancies (both the two that have already been
identified, and those that will result from the reapplication process as part of the “restructuring”)
will not only adversely affect current students and staff, but that they will demolish the
reputation of Philosophy at King’s College, which is not only currently one of the top three
philosophy departments in the country, but is also deemed world-class. This is a point that has
been widely made on public forums by both students and distinguished professors of philosophy
worldwide, and does not seem to have been taken into consideration by the Management. The
likely implications for both revenue and academic esteem should be taken seriously. Because we
have not been presented with reasons to doubt these implications, we suspect that the proposals
have not been well thought out.
Both this document and the inclusive approach we have taken in writing it embody our efforts to
present a position which is shared by a large group of objectors, from both within and without
the confines of the King’s College Philosophy Department.
I
Job Losses
There are three job losses that have been proposed so far. On the information available to us at
present, the threatened redundancy of Professor Lappin and Doctor Meyer-Viol is the sharp edge
of a “cost-saving” strategy to reduce or possibly remove the field of Computational Linguistics
from King's College London’s academic profile. The rationale given for their redundancies is that
they are computational linguists and so should be removed along with the subject itself. This
provides insufficient reason for the proposed course of action. As their past academic and
industry records show, neither Professor Lappin nor Doctor Meyer-Viol work exclusively in
computational linguistics. Both are world-class researchers whose dismissal from the King's
College Philosophy Department would have far-reaching consequences which do not seem to
have been properly understood by the decision makers.
Professor Lappin has published prolifically on areas such as intensional logic, formal semantics
and natural language processing. In the last round of Research Assessment Evaluation, Professor
Lappin's work stood squarely with the other world-class research pursued at the Department.
Professor G.K. Pullum of Edinburgh University eloquently sums up Professor Lappin’s worth on
the ‘Leiter Reports’ website:
The past ten or fifteen years has seen an accelerating alliance between logic,
philosophy, formal linguistics, informatics, and theoretical psychology…[V]ery few
scholars would illustrate the character and promise of this alliance better than Shalom
Lappin… If ever there was an example of work within a philosophy department that
might have a “knowledge exchange” edge (that is, might have potential for industrial
collaboration and economic benefits), this sort of thing is surely it. Calling Lappin a
computational linguist so that the subarea can be eliminated making him
automatically redundant is ridiculous. He is a philosopher-logician-semanticist who
understands the issues well enough to contribute insights to computational
linguistics.
The general public outrage at Professor Lappin’s proposed redundancy has been huge, and has
only continued to broaden and deepen over the days since its news became public last Thursday.
As students we are also highly disturbed by the seeming inconsistency between assurances given
to Professor Lappin and the proposal of his redundancy. It is our understanding that as recently
as 2009 Professor Lappin was informed that his job would be safe. This information then played
an important part in his decision to remain at King's College to continue his department-
strengthening research, despite having received an offer of a tenured position at a different
university.
Doctor Meyer-Viol is certainly not a computational linguist. He is, first and foremost, a logician.
His activity within the Department is substantial. The formal system behind the Dynamic Syntax
framework was developed by Doctor Meyer-Viol and King's College London remains at the
forefront of research in this area, which regularly attracts research income to the School. He has
played a central role in cross-disciplinary collaborations in the study of language over the years
and continues to ground these collaborations with the rigour and precision of his main discipline.
He has also worked in tense and aspect logics which are invaluable to the study of natural
language in both philosophy and linguistics.
According to the King’s College Strategic Plan 2006-2016:
One of King’s strengths is our multi-disciplinary approach to both teaching and research.
All Schools have either moved, or are moving, to structures that—while preserving the
core disciplines within their individual departments—work through overlapping
research themes to exploit the synergies within and between Schools..
The Philosophy Department already has an established multi-disciplinary teaching and research
environment, an environment that will be under threat if the aforementioned job losses go ahead.
It gravely concerns us that those who claim to be preparing the School for the future are so badly
informed about its present.
Both Professor Lappin and Doctor Meyer-Viol have run advanced seminar courses for
philosophy graduate students. The core logic module for undergraduate philosophers is
currently run by Doctor Meyer-Viol. It is impossible to excel in any area of analytic philosophy
without a foundation in logic. Doctor Meyer-Viol provides this to our undergraduates. He and
Professor Lappin are the only members of the faculty qualified to be tutors for Master’s and
Research students focusing on logic. To single out Professor Lappin and Doctor Meyer-Viol because they
purportedly possess only extraneous expertise is simply a mistake. Expertise in
logic is the keystone of a viable philosophy department.
On the information available to us at present, a second full professor, Charles Travis, is being
forced to retire contrary to an agreement made at the time of his appointment five years ago. This
was an agreement that was part of the reason why he chose the King’s College Philosophy
Department over others. This unfair treatment will have negative practical consequences. The
tenure system in the United States is already known to offer more job security than an academic
can get in the UK. An obvious consequence of the seeming fact that agreements can be reneged
upon like this is that, in particular, our Department’s reputation for job security in the United
States will decline, with obvious reduction in its capacity to attract leading philosophers from
there. Professor Travis’ ongoing work in the Philosophy of Language is a strong contribution to
the Department’s fine reputation on the subject. His contribution is not just discussed in
Philosophy but also in Linguistics by those concerned with truth-conditional semantics and the
contentious division between semantics and pragmatics. With his removal our reputation would
suffer.
Professor Lappin, Doctor Meyer-Viol, and Professor Travis have been supervising research
students for many years and have taken on new research students as recently as Autumn 2009.
Pursuance of the proposed job losses runs a risk of violating claims made in the Core Code of
Practice for Postgraduate Research Degrees (September 2009), and in the Academic Regulations 2009-
2010.
Consider the following two examples:
Schools are responsible for providing suitable supervisory arrangements that should reflect
the nature of the work concerned and the student’s needs… The supervisor will be a
member of staff of the College who has established research experience..
Schools will ensure that at least one of the student’s supervisors or member of the
supervisory panel has a contract that extends beyond the duration of the student's degree..
The job losses would result in a situation where these requirements will not have been met. There
are at least two current graduate students who will lose their supervisors where no one within
the Department except for Professor Lappin and Doctor Meyer-Viol have the expertise in logic to
provide the required supervision. Further, one PhD student, whose work is in the application of
computer programming skills in the study of formal languages, has been assigned Professor
Lappin as primary, and Doctor Meyer-Viol as secondary, supervisor. The redundancies of these
individuals, resulting in the loss of their specific expertise portfolios would directly result in the
impossibility of continued supervision for this student. Moreover, the work of at least one current
graduate student, whose thesis directly concerns the work of Professor Travis, will be harmed if
Professor Travis’ departure goes ahead.
We are well aware that under normal circumstances primary supervisors could decide to depart
the College. However it is clearly stated in the Core Code that “in cases of absence or the departure
of the principal supervisor, to ensure that adequate arrangements are made for the student's
continuing supervision.”.
We further wish to stress a subsidiary point. It is not only graduate students losing their
supervisors whose interests will be affected. The diversity and depth of the entire undergraduate
course may well be severely depleted in the “restructuring”. The proposed changes to the
Department come at a crucial time given the disbanding of the University of London’s Federal
Philosophy system. The effect of this split is that undergraduate students will no longer be able to
attend intercollegiate courses where they have access to the resources of the faculty of the entire
University of London. At a time when the depth of expertise available to students is being limited
we cannot afford to remove areas of competency from our Department.
Perhaps the decision makers responsible for proposing these job losses are fully aware of these
straightforward consequences of their proposal, and perhaps they are choosing to keep their
good reasons to themselves. Perhaps, but until those good reasons are made clear to us, we can
only view the current proposal as constituting a betrayal of assurances to students in the
Department.
II
Lack of Transparency
It is a basic feature of open, honest and rational institutions that their decision making processes
are transparent and that members of those institutions are able to recognise, in the event of a
decision, the justification behind any measures taken. These two elements have been completely
lacking in the recent actions taken by the School of Arts and Humanities. Not only have we
students not been told how, or why, the School decided that their one proposal is the best
available, it appears the academic staff—upon whom we students have had to rely for much
information—have been left in the dark on the how-and-why as well.
No one denies that the College finds itself at a critical juncture. No one denies the scale of the
financial problems facing the College. We do not expect the College to carry on as if the
Governmental cuts had not occurred. However, precisely because of this we do expect that the
process determining the necessary adaptation of the College to these changes be transparent and
open. Contrary to that expectation, the consultation period appears to be ill-timed and
inadequately implemented, commencing as it did with threats to substantial positions within the
Department. To have a consultation period which occurs as such threats are being pursued
hardly promotes honest and sober feedback on the crisis we currently face. We have before us a
diktat dressed as a dialogue. It treats as optional the ethos of any respectable academic
institution; valuing and promoting open debate, self-authorship and joint responsibility for
decisions which affect every one of us.
As noted, the School’s student body was notified of the restructuring plans via the email of 28th
January. But given what has been made public elsewhere (about redundancies and forced
retirements), it is clear that the language of that email was more than lightly spun. The official
information presented falls far short of reflecting the severity of the situation facing the academic
staff of the School of Arts and Humanities in general and our Philosophy Department in
particular. The invitation to dialogue has been presented in a manner which is pointedly
insincere.
III
No Other Options Discussed
We have been given no evidence that alternatives to the current proposal have been seriously
considered and thus we have been given no reason to believe that they have. Redundancy
measures are not the only option to deal with the School’s current financial situation. As
students, we are not in a position to endorse any specific alternative measures, but below are
listed some of the suggestions most commonly raised by both graduate students and members of
the Philosophy Faculty themselves:
- A freeze on hiring for academic and administrative staff within the School for a fixed
period, to come under review in light of then-current finances when the period is up.
- A pay freeze on all academic and administrative positions in the School of Arts and
Humanities for a fixed period, to come under review in light of then-current finances
when the period is up.
- A percentage pay cut for all academic and administrative staff in the School.
- Managerial redundancies or pay-cuts.
At the very least, detailed alternative proposals have not been brought to the table for evaluation.
In an academic institution, the forced redundancies of academic staff who form the backbone of
any department and many of whom are world-class researchers, should be an absolute last
resort. It has not been shown that the proposals are not an overreaction to the financial problems.
Such an action should be understood as a drastic one. To treat the situation as one in which there
is a straight choice between making vital academic staff redundant and allowing financial
meltdown, is to accept a false dichotomy. There are other options and they need to have been
shown to be inferior to the current proposal in order for that proposal to ever have reached the
stage of a consultation period. It is simply false that the superior proposal is always the one that
achieves financial cuts most immediately, as would the redundancy plan. Financial cuts must be
made in a way which renders the retention of vital academic expertise sustainable if those cuts
are to embody a solid plan for the future. We address this below.
IV
The Counterproductivity of the Proposals
The proposals made by the Management concerning the Philosophy Department run a clear risk
of being counterproductive. In the recent Arts and Humanities Research Council Block Grant
Partnership allocation, the Department was second only to Oxford in the number of awards
received. Upon hearing of the proposed restructuring, one of the first concerns voiced was that
those considering the Philosophy Department at King’s for their postgraduate studies would
choose to go elsewhere, despite this recent success. This suspicion was confirmed within only 48
hours of the official restructuring announcement. On the Leiter Reports Blog a prospective
student commented:
With the hopes of completing the MA in one year and (hopefully) advancing to the PhD
afterwards, I am not so sure that King's would be a good place to pursue graduate
studies at the moment.
There is also a serious danger that similar consequences will follow for potential academic staff.
They will rightly suspect the worth of their contracts, a problem which, as was noted above, is
not faced in some other parts of the world. As Professor Trainor, Principal of the College,
explains:
Globalisation means that King’s and the UK’s other leading universities are competing
with institutions world-wide as well as with each other for the best students and staff.
There is then, good reason to expect that the proposed removal of some of our key assets will
render the Department less attractive to high quality academics. This sentiment is illustrated by
the following remark by Professor Keenan of the UCLA Department of Linguistics:
With the retention policies [the Management] are introducing what sort of faculty will
you attract? I'm betting just those that can't find jobs elsewhere, and they will be a bit of
a laughing stock.
More generally, it is not an unlikely possibility that the consequence of saving three salaries will
be a much bigger financial loss. The present actions will damage the quality of the Philosophy
Department. This will lead to: (a) falling revenues resulting from fewer graduate students (MA, MPhil and PhD degrees)
choosing to come to our Department; (b) fewer postdoctoral projects
attracting outside funding; (c) loss of interdisciplinary and network grants owing to reluctance on
the part of potential partners to collaborate with us; and (d) a detrimental effect on the quantity
of money awarded by the Government and other funding organizations. All of this amounts to
less money for the Department, the School, and the College, over the long term.
We believe that the Management has underestimated the effect that the actions they are taking
could have on the sources and levels of revenue for our Department. Just as lack of stability is
poison for foreign investment in the financial markets, lack of job stability is poison for academic
investment. In the competitive market of top graduate students and top professional
philosophers, it is frighteningly easy to set a downward spiral.
In the on-going public discussion of these matters, concerns have been raised that the job security
implications of the proposals being put forward far outstretch the College’s confines. The worry
is that were the restructuring and redundancy proposal to go ahead despite the outrage it has
precipitated in the international philosophical and wider academic community, a precedent may
be set not only for a future lack of job security throughout the College, but also throughout the
whole UK university system. The strong feeling seems to be that this is not hysterical
scaremongering, but a real and present danger which cannot reasonably be ignored.
* * *
The issues addressed in sections I to IV require action on the part of the Management if they are
to rectify their wrong-footed first step and promptly reassure both the current staff and students
of the Philosophy Department and the postgraduate and job markets that this has been a
momentary lapse in judgment. We outline these requirements below:
- The Management must properly and sincerely engage with the people who run the
departments of the institution managed. Without doing so, they are liable to make the same
avoidable mistakes again and the widespread lack of confidence in their abilities to make
decisions that truly benefit our Department and more generally the School, will persist. Any
proposal must conform to the current codes of practice regarding research degree
supervision. Ensuring that they are met is an elementary part of the competent management
of any decent academic institution. It is unfortunate that the Management needs to be
reminded of this.
- Any actions to meet the demands of the current financial situation need to be transparent
and genuinely accountable. This is the only way the Management can expect confidence in
those actions. In particular, we want access to all documents pertaining to the decision
making process behind the current proposals.
- A decision about how best to act in the future will not be made if the decision makers are
presumptuous about alternatives. Other options need to be proposed and properly,
consensually, evaluated.
- The Management must learn that one cannot sustain an academic institution by cavalierly
disregarding its academic assets. Those assets are what bring in students and money, and
short-sighted treatment of those assets hinders the Department’s capacity to accrue such
academically valuable currency.
It is important not to confuse what are two distinct matters. On the one hand, we need to address
the financial challenges currently facing the College. On the other hand, the Management is
engaged in an on-going attempt to steer the School of Arts and Humanities towards the
objectives outlined in their Strategic Plan 2006-2016. Changes to the College Charter and Statutes
were made in 2009. These changes empowered the Management to make redundancies with
impunity, relative to the previous Charter and Statutes. Given this, and given the opacity of the
decisions leading to the current proposal, we suspect that the blurring of these two matters in the
aforementioned email by Doctor Massai is not an unfortunate stylistic error. Nonetheless, they
are two distinct matters. Reasons for one are not automatically reasons for the other. When the
Management properly explains why their one proposal is the best proposal, we expect them to be
clear about what motivates each of its elements.
This letter has been predominantly concerned with the consequences the proposals have for
academic staff. Our administrative staff are highly valued and efficient members of the
Department. We know that administrative staff cuts are also planned. But we are not able during
this “consultation” period to evaluate whether or not these redundancies will be illegitimate as we
have been able with the academic job losses. This is because the administrative staff have been
given even less indication as to the details of how their jobs will be affected by the proposed
“restructuring” which highlights our above concerns regarding the absence of transparency in this
process. This is no genuine consultation period.
