Dundee shows what’s happening across the UK: chaos, cuts and compulsory redundancies.
Staff have been out all week because they refuse to see their institution gutted.
Vote YES. We are the university. We fight for it.

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!

If you missed it, here’s the interim Principal talking about substantial future job cuts at University of Dundee.
He refers to the number of job losses recommended in the recovery plan. This is 390FTE with 340FTE via redundancies.
We believe redundancies are not necessary. #SaveHE #SaveDundeeUni

We can also quote him word for word from a meeting with all staff on 1st July.
“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.”

In all truthfulness it’s got worse. Much worse.

The Courier yesterday stated that Nigel Seaton will be staying on for another year.
We strongly oppose this reporting.
As they mention, Court will have to give final approval But this is reported as a done deal. It isn’t!
All Court members should be able to share their views at the next meeting.

Fantastic news in our fight to save jobs, as interim Principal Prof Nigel Seaton confirms that there will be no redundancies. A massive victory for everyone who has supported us.
Looking forward to receiving the removal of Section 188 in writing.

The University of Dundee is currently trying to make 100% of female research Professors in the School of Science and Engineering redundant.
100% OF FEMALE RESEARCH PROFESSORS!
Only one female professor (teaching and scholarship) from that School will remain working on our UK campuses.
