cuts

The country-wide economic squeeze has hit the arts and culture sector hard. Local governments -  under pressure to save money - are making cuts to their support for local arts organisations, sometimes removing funding completely.

Why are we in this situation and what can be done to make positive progress?

Host Tom Dawson is joined by three expert guests to understand the context and try to come up with some answers:

Stephanie Sirr - CEO of Nottingham Playhouse and  Co-President of UK Theatre

Zak Mensah - Co-CEO of Birmingham Museums Trust and a Trustee of Cultural Enterprises

Cllr Liz Green - Chair of the Local Government Association's Culture, Tourism and Sport board and Councillor, Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames 

The Arts & Culture Podcast aims to seek out and share best practice and innovation from museums, galleries, heritage sites and beyond, all across the UK.

Host Tom Dawson is Director Of Digital for the Association for Cultural Enterprises.

Conversation points include the Federal Reserve rate cuts, cash, employment, America’s spending, the S&P 500, the Magnificent Seven, cyclical fluctuation, playing the long game, old and new prognostications, pundits, and of course a dash of politics.

This is the Afternoon All-Local for Tuesday, November 21st, 2023. 1010 WINS anchor Larry Kanter with more on the stories. 

In this episode, I give my thoughts on the recent developments across US college campuses for faculty as different types of institutions announce cuts to academic programs and faculty positions.

I lay out a few points on how I think faculty can pivot with the challenging times that threaten the traditional role college faculty have held in higher education for generations.

Community reporting in England is under threat, as Meta (formerly Facebook) withdraws a multi-million-pound scheme providing community reporters, and the BBC cuts local radio broadcasting hours to become regional instead. Editors representing local publishing groups said the cut was like a hammer blow and they are trying to secure alternative funding, speaking to MPs for support.

In a Religion Media Centre briefing, they agreed that the future lies in collaboration between all engaged in local community journalism, including independent neighbourhood titles, community broadcasters and the BBC which is planning to hire local digital reporters for more online content. There was also a plea to emphasise that every reporter is a community reporter and all should have the skills and knowledge to enable them to reflect under-reported communities.

House Republicans on the Appropriations Committee advanced a major domestic spending bill, which would cut education spending by 28% and, in their view, “Reins in wasteful bureaucracy and enhances oversight and accountability.”

Let’s dive into some of the details. Within this 28% overall cut to the Department of Education is an 80% cut to Title I – the federal government’s largest K-12 funding stream supporting students from low-income families. This would be catastrophic and slash funding to levels last seen nearly 40 years ago. According to Committee Democrats, it would lead to a nationwide reduction of 220,000 teachers.

While Title I funding hangs on by a thread in this bill, the legislation proposes to eliminate several programs, including: 

·         Teacher professional development, or Title II, which now receives over $2 billion;

·         English language acquisition, or Title III, which serves 5 million English learners; and

·         Federal work study, which supports 660,000 college students.  

Other domestic programs outside the Department of Education would also be eliminated or see major cuts. For example, job training programs for youth funded through the Department of Labor would be eliminated. Head Start would be reduced by $750 million, cutting support for 50,000 children. AmeriCorps, which enrolls more than 200,000 people annually in service, would be cut in half. 

All told, the House Republican bill eliminates 61 programs in the name of “restoring  fiscal responsibility” and includes several policy requirements and prohibitions to stymie President Biden’s agenda. This includes a prohibition against implementing the President’s Executive Orders regarding diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility and advancing racial equity and support for under-served communities. 

Rosa DeLauro, the leading Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee, said in response: “We are witnessing a widespread attack on public education that should horrify all of us.”

While the bill still has to be The bill will soon be considered by the full House of Representatives, but the Senate has yet to release its own proposal. With that chamber controlled by Democrats, their bill is likely to look pretty different. Ultimately, Congressional leaders will need to come to an agreement with the White House to keep the federal government open and operating, a process that is likely to consume the remainder of the year.

People living in several villages across the county say they're shocked as operators make more cuts to bus services.

Routes across the Folkestone and Hythe district as well as Ashford are set to stop due to a lack of demand and rising costs. 

Also in today's podcast, children are among nine people at a birthday party who have fallen ill after playing in the River Medway. 

They've all been suffering similar symptoms after swimming at the spot in Maidstone. 

Frustrated festival goers who had tickets to a cancelled event in Gillingham say they're still waiting for refunds. 

That's despite being told they could have their money back when organisers changed the venue to Essex. 

A sign that welcomes people to Kent as they arrive off ferries in Dover has been labelled "shameful" after being covered with graffiti. 

Locals say the embarrassing tags have been there for more than a week. 

And in sport,  Kent's cricketers have made it four wins in a row in the T20 Blast after beating Sussex last night.

They're now 5th in the south group table ahead of a trip to Essex tomorrow.
