<div>We now need your contributions to further propel this fight to the end. <strong>The funds raised will be used in part to support students affected by the university's actions and toward legal expenses.</strong>

<div><strong>ANNOUNCEMENT: </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>﻿</strong>We are excited to announce that Professor Hakim Adi has been shortlisted for the <strong>Wolfson History prize, the most prestigious History prize in the U.K!</strong> <strong>Our Announcement</strong> on this <strong>amazing accomplishment </strong>can be found<strong> </strong><a href="https://www.historymatters.online/post/professor-hakim-adi-shortlisted-for-the-wolfson-history-prize" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>here</strong></a><strong>.</strong>

</div>
<div><strong>UPDATE:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>An update after Chichester University closed the MRes History of Africa and the African Diaspora course. Due to this development, our funding principles have had to change.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Professor Adi has been made redundant as of the <strong>31st of August 2023</strong>, effectively closing the MRes, this decision was made by the university.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our Press Statement on Professor Hakim Adi being made redundant can be found <a href="https://www.historymatters.online/post/chichester-university-make-prof-hakim-adi-the-first-professor-of-african-descent-in-the-uk-redundant" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>here</strong></a><strong>.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In the lead up to as well as after this decision was made, the<strong> University and College Union, the trade union for further and higher education, haven't given their FULL support, nor have they provided ANY legal advice to Professor Adi</strong>. <strong>As a result of this, Professor Adi needs legal representation which will require funding.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The decision has also affected and continues to affect, the mental health of students who have been directly impacted, because of the position of uncertainty they are placed in. <strong>Your donation will also go towards providing mental health support to students.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Finally, this decision by Chichester University violates the Equality Act 2010. As both students and Professor Adi were not spoken too. <strong>Due to this, we require legal funding to challenge Chichester’s unlawful decision.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Help Support Our Fight! Your Donations will go towards:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>- Supporting Our Students and their legal fight against Chichester University, who have failed to comply with the Equality Act 2010</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>- Supporting Professor Adi who has been made redundant and requires legal representation</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>- Supporting our course transfer process</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>- And providing mental health support to students </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hear Our Students:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“We were mortified that one, we were in the middle of a course, the University decided to stop taking students, and make the course leader redundant. Which in our view shows no consideration” – <strong>Leanard Phillip, MRes Student</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Regarding the future of their PhD, <strong>A.S. Francis, a PHD student</strong>, says: “At this point I can’t answer that. I actually don’t know.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“I’m just wondering why a British university, would want to stop people from knowing about their history” - <strong>Petra Toyin Haynes, MRes Student</strong>
