I want to extend my full support to staff threatened with compulsory redundancy at the University of Edinburgh.

I have today written to the Principal imploring him to change direction.

Intervention from @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk on cuts and job losses at Edinburgh university as @ucuedinburgh.bsky.social UCU take three days of strike action this week to save jobs. Strike rally at the Scottish Parliament tomorrow, Wed, at 1pm #SaveHE #StopTheCuts #NoCompulsoryRedundancies
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.

Solidarity to all at @ucuedinburgh.bsky.social! I studied there in 2010-11 and staff were on strike then - I remember one of my tutors explaining that she felt it was part of her responsibility to us as her students to protect the future of academic pay and conditions.
Pickets all over Edinburgh this morning! From Old College to King's Building, Edinburgh UCU staff are saying NO to job cuts!

Edinburgh University UCU staff are on strike protesting compulsory redundancies and students are protesting the university’s investments in Israel. Staff and students were in solidarity with each other this morning at Old College, which the students closed down.
