Graphic with concluding words from the RMA statement: "We urge the University of Nottingham in the strongest terms to reverse its decision to suspend recruitment to all undergraduate programmes in music, and to continue to provide whole- hearted support to a department that has already achieved so much in so many different areas of music, and which, with its highly talented and deeply committed staff body, is excellently positioned to thrive in the future."
