Some of our most precarious members, tutors and demonstrators on 'guaranteed hours' contracts, have had their work hours cut or disappeared entirely in management's cost cutting spree. All the money paid to Nous could have gone to them.

‘Nousferatu’: the notorious consultancy advising Edinburgh uni amid 'huge' cuts
Scotland’s largest university has turned to Nous Group at the same time as it is making savings that could lead to nearly 2,000 job losses. Staff say they were misled about the extent of its work.

Edinburgh University is facing financial trouble, and the UCU said as many as 1,800 jobs could be at risk.
Our universities are built on the hard work of their staff, and we lose them at our peril.
That's why I raised this issue with the Minister for Higher Education today.
