And no, I'm not suggesting a completely different utilisation of budgets (although that is an option). I'm talking about restructuring budgets and planning for a future. As @joedeville.bsky.social and I have said before: *austerity is not a strategy*. Library directors/deans/etc.: please take heed.

Sorry, we can't afford to give you your real-terms pay cut.
'Staff at some institutions will not get even get the small rise due to them because of a clause in the negotiations that allows for a delay for up to 11 months if a university is facing financial difficulties.' So far, Dundee, Kent, Brunel, Coventry, Swansea.
