Response to possibility of compulsory redundancies at University of East Anglia

July 2023

BAFTSS Chair, Liz Watkins, drafted a further letter on behalf of the EC in July 2023, regarding the ongoing situation at UEA.

It can be read here.

March 2023

"The BAFTSS Executive Committee is extremely concerned to learn that compulsory redundancies are being considered at the University of East Anglia. The BAFTSS Executive Committee urges the Council and Vice- Chancellor’s Office to reconsider these measures and to better secure the future of its staff and students in all subject areas.

In the broader financial context of UEA, the BAFTSS EC asks that you recognise and work to protect the vital contribution of the Film, Television and Media Studies programmes and the East Anglian Film Archive as they are integral to the reputation of the University of East Anglia. UEA was among the first UK universities to invest in Film Studies as an emerging discipline as supported by the British Film Institute. The East Anglian Film Archive is the longest-running regional film and media archive in the UK with close links the Norwich Film Festival and Norfolk Screen. The collective resources for film, media and television at UEA must be protected."
