“We don’t see how the university can continue to provide quality education to students with drastic reductions in staff. Management does not appear to be listening—students may [be] able to insist they do.” Sophia Woodman UCU Edinburgh President
Edinburgh University spends thousands on chancellors bills while staff fear redundancy
The UCU have called the chancellor's perks a 'slap in the face' to striking staff
