(1) Jim West reproduces a helpful summary from Lloyd Pietersen about What's Going on at Gloucestershire.
(2) I wrote to Paul Bowler (pbowler@glos.ac.uk) and Patricia Broadfoot (vc@glos.ac.uk) last night and received a formal reply this morning. If you have not done so already, please write your letter as soon as possible. Although you too will probably only get a formalized reply, there is strength in numbers. Let them know just how strongly we feel about this mismanagement.

Lloyd Pietersen and the University of Gloucestershire: Action needed
It's only a matter of weeks since the University of Sheffield's administration moved to close down its internationally renowned Department of Biblical Studies. Due to a concerted campaign on the ground at Sheffield, and with support all over the world, that decision was reversed. Well, now another British university department is similarly under threat from the university's own administration, and one of our good friends has heard today that his post has been terminated.
Lloyd Pietersen is Senior Lecturer and Research Coordinator in New Testament Studies in the Department of Humanities at the University of Gloucestershire. For those who do don't know him, Lloyd is a first class scholar, a fine teacher, and a delightful person, a massive asset to the university. It is unthinkable that they would let someone like Lloyd go.
So what can we do? To begin with, we can pull out all the stops and inundate both Paul Bowler (pbowler@glos.ac.uk) and Patricia Broadfoot (vc@glos.ac.uk) with notice of the damage to research and the university's reputation.
Tweet it, facebook it and fellow bloggers, let's get the word out.
