Shane O’Neill, Jim McGeorge and Iain Gillespie knew of a £40m projected deficit and the need for £40m savings on 2 July 2024 at Dundee University

Page 50 of the Gillies report, states that Jim and Shane wrote to Schools and Directorates that day.

Their evidence at Scot Parliament does not match

The University of Dundee has a women problem

“In our view this culture of sexism runs deeper than the sidelining of women speaking up and out and persists beyond the ignominious end of Iain Gillespie’s tenure as Principal of the university.”

This is an existential threat to our university & sector.

UCU have called on BCU leadership to take redundancies off the table, as part of our ongoing dispute demands to protect jobs & negotiate on performance targets.

With 340 jobs at risk & a live strike ballot, join our branch meeting on Monday to set a position to empower our negotiators.

NO REDUNDANCIES at the University of Dundee.

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 needs to look at the election of a leadership that staff can get behind and which is committed to resolving the current situation without the use of compulsory redundancies.” @carloucu.bsky.social @ducuuo.bsky.social

Staff at the University of Dundee have spoken of their “elation” at the release of a “damning” report that blamed management failures for its financial crisis, reports @julietterowsell.bsky.social

Incredible support for our staff at @ucuedinburgh.bsky.social on picket lines today in their fight against management's plans to slash budgets and jobs ✊

Received an email from the university - apparently genuine - offering financial compensation for "disruption caused by industrial action". No mention of the disruption caused by making staff redundant, of course.

Seems I'm entitled to £100. That'll be a £100 donation to @newcastleucu.bsky.social.
