Over the coming months, I will be working on a book that focuses on some aspects of the arguments developed through this project. Sharing this here as a way of pressuring myself into a more disciplined writing routine and to let mutuals know that something might be on the way.

This ballot is a ballot for the soul of the university. A university does not exist without its staff. Yet staff are the ones who are being cut or made to snap under pressure.
Enough.

If you missed it, here’s the interim Principal talking about substantial future job cuts at University of Dundee.
He refers to the number of job losses recommended in the recovery plan. This is 390FTE with 340FTE via redundancies.
