The Scottish Funding Council waved through the University of Dundee's Strategy to Recovery, even though it broke their funding conditions. The Scottish Gov need to ACT NOW and ask the SFC to reverse their decision, and stop the redundancy process TODAY. www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/politics/...

We are calling for - a forensic audit of the the finances of the University of Dundee - a review of University governance structures - a judicial review of the processes that led to restructuring of the University and proposal to close courses and services sites.dundee.ac.uk/ducu/

Join the campaign to save jobs at the University of Dundee. Emergency Public Meeting - Monday 22nd June, 6pm at Dundee Central Library.

£20m more staff cuts being put to the University’s Court today. Around 250 people will be made redundant if the plan goes through and remove all of that £20m every year from the local economy and high street. Over 1000 staff gone. @dundee.ac.uk @thecourier.co.uk @eveningtelegraph.bsky.social

These past few weeks the fight for our uni has taken a new turn. We've lost ~700 staff already. Will it be 1000 in the end, with the management's "Strategy to Recovery"? Unis as a business vs as a place of research & education - coming to a head in Dundee and across the UK. More ⬇️

Another 200 job losses have been announced at the University of Dundee. Read our response here news.stv.tv/north/dundee...

The University of Dundee has still not ruled out compulsory redundancies until the summer. This is despite the conditions of £40m funding explicitly stating that redundancies cannot go ahead until they have submitted a new strategy and workforce plan. This is causing huge stress to all staff.

The stresses that staff have been under at the University of Dundee for 16 months are explained here by Dundee UCU Co-President, Melissa D’Ascenzio. She outlines some measures that could help relieve this stress.

With Court agendas missing, minutes published late and papers non-existent, it’s our view that the important governance meetings at the University of Dundee should be live streamed and recorded, for openness and transparency.

The current situation at the University of Dundee is that we are not getting our annual pay increase and that promotion processes are paused. At the same time the uni is refusing to rule out compulsory redundancies, it is advertising over 20 new senior management jobs for academic staff.

Watch union representatives from Scottish universities give evidence to the Scottish Parliament on the crisis and how it is affecting staff and students. www.scottishparliament.tv/meeting/educ...

Today we strike to ask the University of Dundee to rule out compulsory redundancies. Join us at the front of the Tower until 10am and then at Holyrood for our rally to defend Scottish Higher Education sector from 12:30-13:30.

On 14 December, an antisemitic terror attack took place at Bondi Beach, where many lives were lost and people injured. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families and everyone affected by these tragic events, particularly the Jewish community. GoFundMe has listed fundraising efforts. 1/2

Dundee shows what’s happening across the UK: chaos, cuts and compulsory redundancies. Staff have been out all week because they refuse to see their institution gutted. Vote YES. We are the university. We fight for it.

We held a rally to mark one-year of the financial crisis at the University of Dundee. We resolve to continue opposing compulsory lay-offs and a radical reshaping of the institution. If we fight together we win! www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/politics/... #SaveHE #SaveDundeeUni #WeAreTheUniversity

We’re striking to save jobs next week. Whether you’re a member, a colleague or student, please visit us on our picket line to support us or chat about why we’re on strike. If you have any questions about our action, you can drop us an email at [email protected]

If you missed it, here’s the interim Principal talking about substantial future job cuts at University of Dundee. He refers to the number of job losses recommended in the recovery plan. This is 390FTE with 340FTE via redundancies. We believe redundancies are not necessary. #SaveHE #SaveDundeeUni
