That is harsh and disgraceful. But given HE leadership, this doesn’t surprise me at all.

I wish there was a button for support, rather than liking. No one should “like” what is happening. But agree questions need to be asked and properly answered.

Or an open search like some of the American universities.

Maybe thinking about those colleagues who “left voluntarily” and the university can still use their research for REF? Or thinking about those forced out compulsorily? When work invades your dreams like yours had, time to call them work induced nightmares.

University Councils, filled with private sector appointees see HE in terms of P and L. That combined with directors of finance and other non-academic UET members really running the show and beholden to not breaking covenants are the ones to blame.

So, approx 750k to 1 million? This is the same university that stopped paying the real living wage and hired a bunch of highly paid PVCs and PS staff. Disgraceful “leadership”.

Oh no. UEA is joining the list of uni nasties and doing compulsory redundancies? Despicable. I really feel for all of you.
