‘Angry and exhausted’ Dundee University staff rally against jobs cut to save university
Campus unions organised the event where there was palpable anger at the current and former leadership of Dundee University.

We held a rally to mark one-year of the financial crisis at the University of Dundee.
We resolve to continue opposing compulsory lay-offs and a radical reshaping of the institution.
If we fight together we win!

Glad to be able to pop by the @ducuuo.bsky.social picket line as they were just getting set up this morning.
Staff are on strike in the cold & damp to say NO to compulsory redundancies. Management must engage with staff properly: co-design a recovery plan, do not impose cuts!

Do you think staff at the University of Dundee were misled when we were told there would be no redundancies? Or when he told us they hadn’t said there would be no redundancies?

We need to stop shipping in vastly overpaid, underperforming ‘executives’ who don’t care about OUR university or OUR city. These people (in this picture) are the people who CAN save OUR university.

Very strong turnout this morning on the first of our five days strike.
On Friday, in a meeting with the interim Principal, he confirmed his ideology is to cut as many jobs as possible.

Very sad news. Arts and Humanities are vital.
Why is it that when trying to cut costs, university execs go for the arts and humanities subjects that are frequently cheaper to teach and bring in strong income?
Don’t they realise this will create less income and cause additional cuts in the future?

Closing vital programmes is not the answer to resolving the issues faced by Universities- senior management need to work with students and staff to find long term solutions.
