Exactly. I think the idea is select fat cats allowed but other staff must tighten their belts and starve. @ucuedinburgh.bsky.social analysis the numbers - it seems there is more than enough to go around if everyone shares www.ucuedinburgh.org.uk/blog/depreci...

If there's a financial crisis at the University of Edinburgh, it is of senior management's making. Staff and students deserve answers. Why should we trust a senior management team responsible for such mismanagement to 'fix' this?

Great work by @ucuedinburgh.bsky.social on UoE's latest financial report. Depressing that a university doing pretty damn well financially (no deficit) compared to most of the sector choosing to destroy itself, and staff are all just sitting helplessly in the backseat of a slow motion car crash.

Some of our most precarious members, tutors and demonstrators on 'guaranteed hours' contracts, have had their work hours cut or disappeared entirely in management's cost cutting spree. All the money paid to Nous could have gone to them.
