Cambridge philosophy students petition faculty to "save Marx"

MOVING TO FRONT FROM EARLIER-SEE UPDATE

Not surprising, given Raymond Geuss's retirement and the nature of recent appointments.  It would be a bit pathetic, though, for philosophy students at Cambridge to be unable to find faculty to work with on Marx or Nietzsche.

(Thanks to Phil Gasper for the pointer.)

UPDATE:  Richard Holton, Chair of Philosophy at Cambridge, writes:

Marx will continue to be taught in the Cambridge philosophy faculty. The proposal is to contextualize Marxism, along with theories of equality in one course, and with feminism and anarchism in another. Faculty and students discussed the proposals together at a productive Staff-Student Committee meeting earlier this week. The petition had been circulated and signed before that meeting, and thus before students knew the full proposals; so we're puzzled that it was published on Change.org  afterwards, as though the meeting had never taken place. The Hegel and Nietzsche course remains.
