Bangor may come to regret shutting its chemistry department
After 135 years, Bangor University’s chemistry department is closing. Sad news indeed for students and staff as a storied department downs its flasks. As is so often the case, financial woes are being blamed and the university hopes to save itself £1.4 million over the next three years as it winds up the department. But while that decision might be expedient for the university’s administrators, it’s the wrong one.
