The Future of Logic, Language and Computation at KCL

The Group of Logic, Language and Computation (GLLC), spanning the departments of Computer Science and Philosophy at King’s College London, is disintegrating due to budget cuts that have targeted several academics for redundancy, including Dr. Anatoli Degtyarev, Dr. Jonathan Ginzburg, and Dr. Odinaldo Rodrigues at Computer Science, and Prof. Shalom Lappin and Dr. Wilfried Meyer-Viol at Philosophy—all of them highly respected researchers and successful teachers.

An open letter, signed by 243 international scientists, condemning these developments has just been posted to KCL senior management. The full letter is available here:
