#DundeeUni in the news again - another 190 FTE job cuts coming in another round of voluntary redundancies https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/education/5517948/live-blog-dundee-university-job-cuts/

"The total headcount at the university fell from 3,432 in August 2024 to 2,757 in May this year – a reduction of 675 jobs.

The bulk of these are due to two previous voluntary severance schemes."

@pjacock wow, UK academia is really bleeding to death… 😢

@gedankenstuecke Dundee may be at the 'bleeding edge' here, but I've lost track of how many UK universities have hiring freezes or recent/current redundancies.

Any wagers for the next merger as the sector contracts?
