Deja Vu all over again: Center for Research in Modern European Philosophy targetted for elimination again!

MOVING TO FRONT FROM MARCH 10:  SEE UPDATE

The last time it was at Middlesex University in 2010, and now it's the same thing again at Kingston University, where the program landed after the last disaster.   There's an open letter from students here.  Faculty have not yet been fired, but they almost certainly will be if the program closures go through.  Given the general level of economic distress in UK higher education, will another institution step forward to save the program?

UPDATE:  There is now a petition in support of the program here, which is accepting signatures.
