History

The Arts Building on the University of Sussex campus.

The University of Sussex initially began as an idea for the construction of a university to serve Brighton. In December 1911 there was a public meeting at the Royal Pavilion in order to discover ways in which to fund the construction of a university. However, the project was halted by the First World War and the money raised was instead used for books for the Municipal Technical College. However, the idea was revived in the 1950s, and in June 1958, the government approved the corporation's scheme for a university at Brighton, the first of a new generation of red brick universities which came to be known as plate glass universities.[5] The University was established as a company in 1959, with a Royal Charter being granted on 16 August 1961.[5] The University's organisation broke new ground in seeing the campus divided into Schools of Study, with students able to benefit from a multidisciplinary teaching environment.

Sussex quickly came to be identified with postwar social change and developed a reputation for radicalism which it retains. In 1973, a crowd of 500 students forcibly prevented United States government adviser Samuel Huntington from giving a speech on campus due to his involvement in the Vietnam War.[10]

In 2004 the University started to use a new logo in place of its traditional coat of arms, as part of a wider new 'visual identity'.[11]

Campus

Falmer House, home to the Students' Union.
Arts A lecture theatres in 2005.

The campus, designed by Sir Basil Spence, is located in the village of Falmer, next to its railway station, and accessed by car from the A27 road. It is situated next to the Sussex Downs, which influenced Sir Basil Spence's design of the campus.

Sir Basil Spence's designs were appreciated in the architecture community, with many of the buildings on the University's campus winning awards. The gatehouse-inspired Falmer House won a bronze medal from the Royal Institute of British Architects.[5] Another campus building, The Meeting House, won the Civic Trust award in 1969.[12] In 1993, the buildings which made up the core of Sir Basil Spence's designs were given listed building status, with Falmer House being one of only two buildings to be given a Grade 1 status of "exceptional interest".[12]

Sussex claimed to be “the only English university located entirely within a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty”.[13] However, when the South Downs National Park replaced the Sussex Downs AONB in March 2010, most of the campus was excluded from the park.

The Gardner Arts Centre, another of Basil Spence's designs, was opened in 1969 as the first university campus arts centre.[14] It had a 480 seat purpose built theatre, a visual art gallery and studio space and was regularly used for theatre and dance as well as showing a range of films on a modern cinema screen. The Centre closed in the summer of 2007:[15] withdrawal of funding and the cost of renovating the building were given as the key reasons.

Plans have been put forward to the local council to refurbish the centre, with work starting as soon as mid 2009. It is hoped the centre will be open in 2011-2012, in time for the University's 50th anniversary celebrations.

League tables

The university is ranked within the top 30 in the UK: The Guardian university rankings for 2005 placed Sussex 16th;[6] the 2008 Good University Guide placed it 24th.[16] According to the 2008 and 2010 Guardian university rankings, Sussex has Britain's best chemistry department. Its professor, Geoff Cloke, was in 2007 elected a fellow of The Royal Society.[17] In 2008 the University of Sussex was ranked 20th in the UK, within the top 50 in Europe and 130th in the World.[9]

Organisation

In 2009 the university adopted a new organisational structure. The term "Schools of Studies" was retained, but headed by a "Head of School" rather than the traditional "Dean". Many of these new heads were appointed from outside Sussex rather than from existing faculty. The schools are listed below.[34] The term "department" has been retained in some cases, where a school contains separate disciplines.

The changes did not affect the Brighton and Sussex Medical School (BSMS).

Structure pre-2003

The University was founded with the unusual structure of "Schools of Study" (ubiquitously abbreviated to "schools") rather than traditional university departments within arts and science faculties. The Schools were intended to promote high-quality teaching and research.

In the early 1990s, the University promoted the system by claiming, "Clusters of faculty [come] together within schools to pursue new areas of intellectual enquiry. The schools also foster broader intellectual links. Physics with Management Studies, Science and Engineering with European Studies, Economics with Mathematics all reach beyond conventional Arts/Science divisions."[36] By this time, the original schools had been developed somewhat and were:

Structure 2003 - 2009

In 2001, as the university was celebrating its 40th anniversary, the then Vice Chancellor Alasdair Smith proposed [37] major changes to the curriculum across the 'Arts schools', and structural changes were agreed by the senate which would create two Arts schools and a 'Sussex Institute' in place of the five schools then in place. Corresponding changes would be made in Sciences.

The changes were finally implemented in September 2003. After discussion in senate and the schools, the university adopted for the first time in its history the concept of a department. All subjects were located firmly in one school, and undergraduates were offered straightforward degree subjects rather than the distinctive Sussex differentiation based on the context provided by school courses. The new schools were:

Chancellors and Vice-Chancellors

The current and fifth Chancellor of the university is Sanjeev Bhaskar, who succeeded Lord Attenborough in 2009.[38]

  1. Viscount Monckton of Brenchley (1961–65)
  2. Lord Shawcross (1965–85)
  3. The Duke of Richmond and Gordon (1985–98)
  4. Lord Attenborough (1998–2008)
  5. Sanjeev Bhaskar OBE (2009–Present)

The university has had seven Vice-Chancellors:

  1. John Fulton, later The Lord Fulton (1961–67)
  2. Professor Asa Briggs (1967–76)
  3. Sir Denys Wilkinson (1976–87)
  4. Sir Leslie Fielding (1987–92)
  5. Professor Gordon Conway (1992–98)
  6. Professor Alasdair Smith (1998–2007)
  7. Professor Michael Farthing (2007–Present)

Financial crises and Stop the Cuts campaign

In 2009 the University had an annual turnover of £160 million but announced that it had to make cuts of £3 million in the current academic year and £5 million in 2010-11 due to reductions in government funding.[39]

The proposal for the cuts includes over 115 compulsory redundancies. These include a third of the academics in the School of Life Sciences, 13 academics in Informatics, and more redundancies in the schools of Engineering, History, English and the Centre for Continuing Education.[39]

The plans also include reductions in funding and reorganising of many of the university's non-academic services, including severe cuts to student advice services, sexual health clinic UNISEX, and the on-campus nursery and creche.[39]

A student and staff movement, "Stop the Cuts", was set up to oppose the proposals, demanding that the university management:[40]

The "Stop the Cuts campaign" has organised several protests, firstly bringing together more than 500 students, to coincide with a Senate meeting. The Vice-Chancellor, Michael Farthing, called the police to disperse the demonstration - despite the nonviolent nature of the protest.[42]

More recently the Stop the Cuts campaign has occupied buildings on campus. First of all occupying the conference room in Bramber House for 24 hours then two weeks later occupying the VCEG (the most senior body of management) offices in Sussex House for a few hours. At the second occupation riot police were called by the university to manage the protest after some senior staff claimed they were being held hostage, a claim that was strongly denied by the occupiers.[43] Two days after the occupation several students were suspended and the university management were granted a high court injunction making occupational protest a criminal offence on university grounds.[44]

However, the campaign ignored what it described as an "unlawful injunction" and occupied the Arts A2 lecture theatre for eight days, calling for the immediate and unconditional reinstatement of the six suspended students.[40] Members of the UCU lecturers' union on campus also called on the Vice-Chancellor Michael Farthing "to lift the suspensions with immediate effect so as to enable the students to continue their studies and to exercise their human rights."

During the same week, the UCU also voted to take strike action against job cuts, in a record turn out for the ballot.[45]

On 17 March 2010, an Emergency General Meeting (EGM) of the Student's Union met, over 850 students attended, and voted almost unanimously in favour of a motion of no confidence in Michael Farthing and his VCEG, for their handling of the cuts to jobs and services. They also voted for the unconditional reinstatement of the suspended students, and for an inquiry into what happened during the occupation of Sussex House.[46]

On 18 March 2010, members of UCU went on strike, and the occupiers of Arts A2 went out to join the staff on the picket lines, and provided food. After a week of pressure from the occupation, the six suspended students were allowed back on campus without restrictions, pending disciplinary actions. The disciplinary hearings took place on the 18th May 2010, one day after four of the six had to hand in their dissertations. After over two hours each with the disciplinary board, it was decided that the six should be allowed to graduate, provided that they pay a fine and write a letter to staff members who felt that they were disrupted. The amount of the fine has yet to be decided.[47]

The proposed 112 redundancies are still going ahead, and the Stop the Cuts Campaign, together with UCU, continues to hold demonstrations against job losses and cuts to students' services.

Housing

Accommodation as seen from the Sussex Downs behind Park Village in 2007. Clockwise from the top left: Brighthelm (barely visible), East Slope (furthest), Park Village (closest, showing new pitched roofs). The construction of new buildings can be seen to the right of the recently modified East Slope car park.

The early campus included five "Park Houses" (Essex, Kent, Lancaster, Norwich, and York, named after other 1960s universities) and Park Village. The "houses", of which all but Kent House were based on a courtyard design, featured several long corridors with kitchens and bathrooms at the end and a social space on the ground floor, very much in the manner of a traditional hall of residence. (Essex House was reallocated in the late 1990s as postgraduate teaching space.) Park Village, by contrast, consists of individual houses with four bedrooms per floor, a kitchen on both the bottom and the top floor, and bathroom facilities on the middle floor. The houses are arranged in "streets" with a social centre building including porters' office, pigeon-holes for post, and a bar, towards the campus end of the area. Essex House also featured a self-contained flat (external but attached by a walkway) which was given over to the Nightline confidential listening and advice service in 1992. Kent House includes the Kulukundis House wing, developed with easy access for residents with special needs.

Accommodation on campus was expanded in the 1970s with the construction of the unusual split-level flats of East Slope. This development also has a social building with a porters' office and bar.

In the 1990s, as student numbers rose, further developments were constructed in the corner of campus between East Slope and Park Village. Brighthelm and Lewes Court were constructed in public-private partnership funding arrangements with the Bradford & Northern and Kelsey Housing Associations. During construction and their first year of use they were named after these associations; students were involved in suggesting the permanent names Brighthelm and Lewes Court. The name "Brighthelm" owes its etymology to part of the former name of Brighton, Brighthelmstone, whilst Lewes Court is named after the nearby county town of Lewes, to some extent in keeping with Sussex and Falmer Houses elsewhere on campus.

In total there are seven areas of student accommodation on campus. The two newest accommodation areas were completed recently: one next to Falmer train station, named Stanmer Court, and the other next to East Slope, opposite Bramber House, known as Swanborough.[48]

In October 2009 it was announced that new accommodation is to be built on the field north of Lewes Court. The new residences will contain 744 study-bedrooms, 12 family flats and 21 studio flats. Building work began in January 2010, with completion in time for the academic year 2011-12.[49]

People

Notable faculty

In the sciences Sussex counts among its faculty two Nobel Prize winners, Sir John Cornforth and Professor Harry Kroto. Sir Harry, the first Briton to win the chemistry prize in over ten years, received the prize in 1996 for the discovery of a new class of carbon compounds known as the fullerenes. The University has 15 Fellows of the Royal Society - the highest number per science student of any British university other than Cambridge. In the arts, there are six members of faculty - an unusually high proportion - who have the distinction of being Fellows of the British Academy. Faculty publish around 3,000 papers, journal articles and books each year, as well as being involved in consultative work across the world. Sussex has counted two Nobel Prize winners, 13 Fellows of the Royal Society, six fellows of the British Academy and a winner of the prestigious Crafoord Prize in its faculty.

Especially, between the mid-80s and the late 90s the University’s School of English and American Studies boasted some of the biggest names in critical and cultural theory. Although only a few are still there now, in its heyday Sussex had figures such as Homi Bhabha (postcolonialism); Jacqueline Rose (feminism, psychoanalysis); Jonathan Dollimore (Renaissance literature, gender and queer studies); Gabriel Jocipovici (Dante, the Bible); Alan Sinfield (Shakespeare, sexuality, queer theory; Sinfield created, with Dollimore, the Sexual Dissidence and Cultural Change MA); Rachel Bowlby (feminism, Woolf, Freud); Geoffrey Bennington, the creator of the MA programme in Modern French Thought (Derrida, Lyotard); Cedric Watts (Conrad, Greene); Marcus Wood (postcolonialism); Laura Marcus (Woolf); Norman Vance (Victorian, classical reception); Peter Nicholls (Pound, modernism); Nicholas Royle (modern literature and theory; deconstruction).

Research

Sussex had its research funding cut by £1.15 million in 2009; this was the ninth biggest cut in the country.[56][57]

Sussex performed well in the 2008 national Research Assessment Exercise with 18 departments ranking in the top 20 in the U.K.[58][59]

In respect of teaching quality, 13 of the 15 subjects assessed under the current teaching quality assessment scheme have scored 21 or more points (out of 24), with Philosophy and Sociology achieving the maximum score.
