The plan is to join the CS and Maths departments, and get rid of all computer scientists and mathematicians whose work is not in data science or AI.

There is a threat to pure mathematics research at Leicester and a petition here https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/mathematics-is-not-redundant which I encourage you to sign.
The proposals represent an attack on pure mathematics research in general and a specific threat to the category theory research represented at Leicester and to the LMS funded Yorkshire and Midlands Category Theory network which has its main node at Leicester.
