A *very* robust open letter to Cardiff University’s Executive Board about its cruel & unnecessary cuts from Cardiff’s Labour MPs Jo Stevens, Stephen Doughty, Anna McMorrin and Alex Barros-Curtis👇

Cardiff MPs Statement on Cardiff University 2nd February, 2025 As Cardiff MPs we are extremely proud of the national and international reputation of Cardiff University and the crucial role it plays as an anchor institution and employer in our city. We are deeply concerned about the University's proposed job losses and structural changes, impacting on a significant number of courses ranging from nursing to music and modern foreign languages. We have met with and listened to a wide range of voices over the past few days, including potentially affected employees, student representatives and trade unions. We communicated these concerns directly to the Vice-Chancellor and university senior management in a lengthy meeting on Friday. While we recognise the financially challenging situation the university finds itself in - due to a range of factors including issues such as the legacy of past decisions, international trends and wider economic factors - we remain very concerned about the nature and scale of the proposals and their obvious impact on all those affected. We were very clear in emphasising our view that the University must take every possible step to avoid compulsory redundancies, and that the evidence and data that underpins the proposals should be provided to those affected in order for the consultation to be meaningful and enable alternatives to be proposed and discussed. We also emphasised that more time should be given for the process. We welcome the candid but constructive engagement the university leadership had with us and are absolutely committed to work with all key stakeholders in the months to come to achieve the best possible outcome for staff, students, the University and the wider community. Stephen Doughty MP Cardiff South and Penarth Jo Stevens MP Cardiff East Anna McMorrin MP Alex Barros-Curtis MP Cardiff North Cardiff West
