Dear Prof Hoggart, Prof Palmowski, and Prof Trainor,

We the 335 undersigned computer scientists, linguists, mathematicians, philosophers, psychologists, and cognitive scientists are writing to protest against the recently announced plans to target Dr. Jonathan Ginzburg, Prof Shalom Lappin, and Dr. Wilfried Meyer-Viol for redundancy, and to force Prof Charles Travis into retirement despite contractual obligations for renewal. If carried out, these plans will permanently damage KCL's reputation as a center of excellence in the cognitive sciences, and they will have major and lasting negative repercussions for recruiting in other areas as well.

We are told that KCL is "divesting itself of computational linguistics".
This is a puzzling move for any major institution of higher education.
Computational linguistics has never been more vital in industry, it is an increasingly important component of liberal arts education, and its ideas and innovations will help drive science and technology in the 21st century. Schools that do not embrace this will be left behind. Throughout the world, the hiring trends are clear: departments across the humanities and social sciences hire more computationally-oriented language specialists each year.

Even if KCL is committed to its intellectual downsizing plan, it makes no sense to target Dr. Ginzburg, Prof Lappin, or Dr. Meyer-Viol as part of this plan. None of them can be narrowly categorized as computational linguists. Each has made central and enduring contributions in many areas of linguistics, philosophy, and mathematical logic. The targeting of Professor Travis for redundancy is even more puzzling, since no reasons (not even confused and inaccurate ones) seem to have been given for this decision.

Dismissing senior researchers held in such high esteem by their peers will be disastrous for KCL's international reputation. In addition, all the reports we have received indicate that the people targeted were misled before these events and that some have been treated dishonorably since. We are aghast. These actions are transparently contrary to KCL's long-term interests.

In closing, we would like to emphasize how deeply we admire the KCL Departments of Philosophy and Computer Science, and Dr. Ginzburg, Prof Lappin, Dr. Meyer-Viol, and Prof Travis in particular.

We urge you, in the strongest possible terms, to reconsider your plans.

Sincerely,

Thomas Wasow
