Thankfully the university of Cumbria has figured out how to massively increase management spending in a way that avoids Newcastle’s rookie mistakes. #sarcasm with you, for you, UCU
The number of staff earning over £100,000 at Newcastle University has almost tripled over over seven years...
...as the institution signs off £30m in cuts, including a £20m reduction in its salary budget, equating to 5% in total, or 300 full-time equivalent positions.
