Please read this article as it outlines issues raised by students following the cutting of academic and support staff, and a reduction in modules and degree specialisms.

Thanks to all of them for speaking out and to the BBC for listening to them.

Over the past year, cuts equivalent to circa 15,000 staff members have been made in UK universities. That trend is continuing & accelerating. Hundreds of redundancies are announced every week. A *Labour* government refuses to do anything to stop thousands of job losses.

“I do want to emphasises the fact that it’s a pure voluntary severance scheme.

It will not be followed by a redundancy scheme.

There is no secret Plan B.”
