>Dear Colleagues
>
>On the 28th Feb Principal of St Andrews University announced his plan to
>stop the teaching of "classical" Geology and to concentrate on Geography
>and Environmental Geoscience i.e. cease the teaching of BSc Honours
>Geology. We have over 50 Honours students in Geology doing various hard
>rock modules. We in the Geology Department (12 teaching staff with 5
>recuited in the past 6 months) deplore our Principal's plan.
>
>I quote from the Society of Exploration Geophysists Newsletter No28 p4 (Jan
>97), under 'Presidential Perspective': "changes in academic departments,
>such as elimination of economic geology and reduction of hard rock geology
>courses, actually undermine proper training for the resource geologists
>needed in an expanding job market." I would be grateful if you would e-mail
>me by return stating your support for the retention of "classical" Geology
>in St Andrews. You might like to ask the question: "if St Andrews
>University has hired five new Geology Staff within the past six months then
>why is the Geology Degree to be abandoned?"
>
> Your responces will be presented to our Principal as an academic petition
>for our defence.
>
>Or you may want to contact our Principal directly:
> Principal Struther Arnott (e-mail [log in to unmask])
> College Gate
> St Andrews University
> St Andrews
> Fife
> Scotland
> KY16 9AG

>If you have colleagues who are equally concerned then please forward this
>e-mail to them.
