This is entirely inappropriate. It is quite clear that the university are thinking like a financial business and not as a service to education. The Nursing school I understand is not making a loss and is contributing valuable research.

The medical scool however may generate more money, but this is largely due to drug related research, which nursing / chaplaincy can never generate , but is just as valuable in patient care. Think with your heads please and not with your wallet. AHP and nursing professions have improved in glasgow markedly over the past 10 years, mainly due to co-operative work and the right minded people steering research and clinical practice. Taking this away is like diabling someone's arm. It makes life and progress so much more difficult. Your nursing department's profile has steadily risen over the last 10 years. Shame you can't recognise this within your own university.
