Protect the Language Centre!

Casualised Language Centre staff at UoN have been demanding the basic dignity of direct employment, including through a recent letter to management signed by over one hundred staff members. However, management has ignored this request and instead announced plans to let go all Language Centre casual workers, and end all their teaching. This is an incredibly damaging decision; it hurts the University (the Language Centre generates a surplus!), it hurts staff, it hurts students, and it hurts the wider Nottingham community, for whom there remain very few language learning opportunities.

This is what you can do to support precarious workers and language learning in Nottingham:

1. Sign the open letter joining over 1100 signatories
2. Attend the demonstration at 1:30 pm in Trent Courtyard on Wednesday 18th June.
3. Use this template to write to your local MP
4. If you are staff or a student at the University of Nottingham, write to management

Full text of the open letter

To UoN Management,

Casualised Language Centre staff at the University of Nottingham have been demanding the basic dignity of direct employment, including through a recent letter to management signed by over one hundred staff members. However, management has ignored this request—in the process, contradicting their own Principles for Casual Engagement—and instead announced plans to let go all Language Centre casual workers, and end all their language teaching. This is a damaging decision, which we—the undersigned—call on the University to reverse.

Even on its own terms, the decision to let go casual staff—over 20 workers in total—does not make sense. Amidst concerns about a large financial deficit, University management is slashing ‘unnecessary activities’. Yet the work of the casual staff at the Language Centre generates a surplus. Hundreds of University students pay extra to enrol in language modules. Hundreds more students from the wider Nottingham community pay for evening classes, all of which are taught by casual workers. The revenue from these classes more than covers delivery costs, even after factoring in opaque central University administrative costs. But University management—in a common but misguided effort to save money by cutting ‘less’ profitable or ‘unnecessary’ units—looks set to forfeit revenue in a manner that—experts warn—could worsen its overall financial outlook. This is not a mistake it can afford to make.

Finances aside, the Language Centre layoffs are a harsh blow to casual workers themselves. Many have been teaching full-time equivalent hours for years, dedicating their time and energy to work that—in their own words—they ‘absolutely love’. On hearing the news about layoffs, they described feeling ‘shocked’, ‘gutted’, and ‘heartbroken’. ‘I could barely hold in my tears’, said one worker with over a decade of experience at the Language Centre. Workers also challenged being treated as ‘disposable’. ‘Quite a few of us have been around for so many years already. We should be treated as employees and not just casual workers. We can’t be just dropped off, that’s it.’ As things stand, because the affected workers are all casual, they do not benefit from any consultation, redundancy procedure, nor redundancy pay. 

Beyond their own unfair treatment, casual workers are equally concerned about their students. Once the casuals go, there will be no more evening classes. Undergrad and postgrad modules will also be scaled back to whatever the remaining, directly employed staff can provide. Classes that have already been advertised to students will simply not exist. ‘It’s such a sad situation’, said one worker. ‘I have received emails from my students about how they’re looking forward to resuming classes in October, but what can I say to them? There will be no classes anymore. It’s just terrible.’ Another casual worker questioned, ‘How can the University of Nottingham, which wants to have a global reach, not offer languages to its students?’ As it stands, classes for a rich diversity of languages—French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin Chinese, Arabic, Hebrew, Italian, Modern Greek, Portuguese, Polish, Russian, and British Sign Language—will be cut, leaving the University of Nottingham a smaller place.

Casual workers also highlight the cost to the Nottingham community. ‘It is not only a case of making profit for the institution. Sometimes it is also about what we give to society, to our neighbours. Students [mostly from outside the University] really appreciate that we do those hours in the evening.’ What’s more, since the Language Academy and Language Hub both closed, there are few language learning opportunities left in Nottingham. ‘If we do go ahead with this foolishness’, noted one casual worker, ‘then we are really limiting the nonspecialist language provision in the city.’ And not just in the city. The Language Centre caters to students from as far away as Mansfield, Lincoln, Derby, Matlock, and Leicester, among other places.

On community-related impacts, a casual worker teaching British Sign Language offered a final, crucial point. The cuts to BSL teaching ‘would be detrimental to the Deaf Community both locally and nationally’, given limited provision. ‘Students in areas of study that will lead to public facing jobs are participating in the BSL course to improve communication… with deaf people.’

Ultimately, there is only one conclusion. In the interests of the University, its workers, its students, the Nottingham community, and even beyond, Language Centre casuals and the teaching they provide must be saved. Casual workers should also be moved onto more secure, fixed term or permanent contracts. This change can be made at little to no extra cost to the University. More importantly, it is the right thing to do, as the University itself acknowledges.

Admissions Officer , Student Recruitment – I studied Level 1 Spanish and want to study Level 2 Spanish this September.  Our teacher Gloria was able to teach us in a fun and interactive way.  I met other people who all were happy to share their experiences of Spanish speaking.  As a University who is dedicted to Teaching and Learning , why would you close a facility that helps staff and the community continue with their self development and learing to enhance their lives.  This facility makes money , even so, there is more here than money – it is giving people the opportunity to enrich their lives.

815. Mary Heath.  This move would be a very very retrograde step.  Nottingham University woud be impoverishing students and the wider community.  People are more open to learning languages now than when I was growing up in the 1950s and 1960s.  I was fortunate enough to learn French at school, but always wanted to learn other languages.  As a retired adult I took advantage of the extra time to learn Italian.  I understand that the language teaching at Nottingham University generates income greater than the cost, so why would the university scrap them?  It seems that someone who does not understand economics must have made this decision.  Please think again.
