I am copying here - the paragraph currently removed from Anne-Marie Kilday's wikipedia page. Significant events in UK national news under Anne-Marie's tenureship at Northampton need inclusion. I am more than open to how this is written and a meaningful conversationm as I understand is writer socialiststude - so please engage in one. So far this contribution has been dismissed with one sentence. As a British woman writer I currently feel closed down from writing that includes news in the UK. This is the removed section:
"In October 2023 under Kilday's leadership the University of Northampton announced that the university's Institute of Leather Technology was at risk of closure with accompanying redundancies.[1] This £5.5 million facility had been opened just 4 years earlier.[2] It had in part been developed in Northampton because of the 900 year old leather and shoe industry in Northampton, an industry that had been particularly dominant in the city from the 19th century until the late 20th century.[3] This announcement was therefore described as a potentially very serious moment for the Northampton leather industry with several key figures in this field condemning the decision to base its closure on profitability rather than its research reputation and its long heritage.[4] In November 2023, slightly over one year into Anne-Marie's tenure - there was a student protest, the student union and various media listed the reasons behind this as being: deterioration in the quality of student housing managed by the university, failure to make improvements (in 2022-23 - under Kilday's tenure) leading to unsafe and unsanitary conditions, and rent rises (although a beyond contract demand for an extra week's rent was withdrawn by the university - prior to the protest).[5][6][7]. Kilday has tended to publicly adopt outspoken views on current issues - including those around gender and immigration - she was one of only 14 vice-chancellors who sent an open letter to the government regarding UK immigration policy for international students[8]. As pro-vice chancellor at Oxford Brookes it was reported in local media that she had authorised cancelling an artistic presentation by Rachel Ara - when some students opposed it over perceived transphobia [9]. Rachel Ara is a widely exhibited British artist with her work appearing in many of the UK's major galleries [10][11]. While, as described above, an austere approach to funding infrastructure and courses at Northampton has been largely criticised [12] - she has been both praised and criticised in national media in the UK for publicly engaging in potentially more tendacious political debates [13]."

You could start by removing anything that relies on a source that doesn't mention her. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 21:45, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Popsi thanks for engaging in real conversation - my advice is that the long paragraph maybe more appropriate for the university's page rather than the VCs.
