ShamefulA staff member at Swansea University said: "I am extremely disappointed that Swansea University has chosen to remove the clause from their ethical careers policy which excludes fossil fuels, mining, and arms careers from any marketing campaigns. "I hope that the university will reconsider this decision as I believe it has an ability and responsibility to show moral leadership for its staff, students, and community." "We urge Swansea University to reverse its decision, and we stand in full solidarity with students and staff who resist university complicity in climate breakdown.” In 2023, Swansea became the seventh UK university to exclude the fossil fuel industry from its careers and recruitment activities.
