Are mathematics faculties and funding in universities shrinking?

I was reading this article on Financial Times and I quote:

“*It is alarming to see mathematics departments under threat at universities across the UK. From Exeter to Aberdeen - almost literally the length of the country - universities are making swingeing budget cuts and maths is often in the line of fire.”*

Is this happening in other countries too? I was surprised by the article as I thought that the boom in LLMs and programming along with an all the more broader need for business management would suggest the opposite.

I am not a mathematician but I love math. Why do you think this is happening?

Article title: There will be no more games like Minecraft without maths.

Any systems that have been doing Lacanian psychoanalysis?

So, I have been doing Lacanian psychoanalysis for the last couple of years. I came across plurality on reddit prior to that. Throughout my time in this sub, I've figured that what is most likely happening with me is being a modular system.

In L. psychoanalysis we mostly care about what words mean. To elaborate on "meaning" in L. psychoanalysis; we are looking towards what words, directly or not, are connected with any other word. To make it more clear; being plural is a different experience for every system. So, in psychoanalysis we care about the particularities of each subject's plurality.

Last week I managed to speak about an altar of mine and its connection to the fronting -at the time of the session- altar. Specifically this altar I spoke about (One he/him) is carrying so much anger that my fronting altar (Gyn she/her) has been guarding it so that it could never front. During this, I realized that the effort of guarding my angry altar (One) has been keeping my front (Gyn) away from flourishing and expressing within the social and generally enjoy life. There is at least a third altar (Me ?) who has access to both.. the limits between each of us are not definite... Nevertheless, I have admittedly figured voids in the -supposed- continuum of my memory. There are times I have access to some memories and other times that I don't.

I would like to meet with systems that do Lacanian psychoanalysis as analysands to discuss about our experiences.
