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.

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

How can we have trust in this leadership?

@maggiechapman.bsky.social @ucuscotland.bsky.social We can also quote him word for word from a meeting with all staff on 1st July. “I do want to emphasises the fact that it’s a pure voluntary severance scheme. It will not be followed by a redundancy scheme. There is no secret Plan B.”

Yesterday our interim Principal, gave evidence to the Education, Children and Young People Committee. He stated that he had never ruled out redundancies. Judge for yourself.

When the Gillies report was published, the expectation was that governance at the University of Dundee would improve. In all truthfulness it’s got worse. Much worse.

The impact of the recent VS scheme at the University of Dundee on the art and design student experience. Unsurprising and no doubt similar challenges being seen across all academic disciplines. thejutejournal.com/2025/10/13/f...

Our members have voted to support industrial action to fight against job cuts passed today! In the ballot our 72% of members were in favour of strike action, and 90% in favour of action short of strike. Turnout was 58%. Thank you to all members, reps and officials for helping us get the vote out.

The Courier yesterday stated that Nigel Seaton will be staying on for another year. We strongly oppose this reporting. As they mention, Court will have to give final approval But this is reported as a done deal. It isn’t! All Court members should be able to share their views at the next meeting.

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.” www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/opinion/c...

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 of Dundee is currently trying to make 100% of female research Professors in the School of Science and Engineering redundant. 100% OF FEMALE RESEARCH PROFESSORS! Only one female professor (teaching and scholarship) from that School will remain working on our UK campuses.

We submit this as evidence as why a deal has not yet been struck to save the University of Dundee. www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/politics/...

If the draconian job cuts proposed by the University of Dundee executive group go ahead there will be a devastating impact on staff (including those who remain), students and the wider Dundee community. Please share and amplify these voices. We need to #SaveDundeeUni. #WeAreThe632

Romani people face horrendous racist discrimination, but are often left out from anti-racist campaigns. Let's remember to stand with Romani people this #InternationalRomaniDay 💙❤️💚

Education Secretary Jenny Gilruth states that the University of Dundee has not asked for any additional funding support to reduce job cuts! And that neither her or Graeme Dey have received alternative plans from UEG, which she expects to receive in the coming weeks. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hPe...

U-E-G-T-O-G-O UEG has got to go youtu.be/X_5D1t8Qkus?...

This letter to Douglas Ross is how staff find out which areas may face module reductions and that 700 people may be affected by the cuts! Staff receive no communication, courtesy or respect from executives at the University of Dundee. None. www.parliament.scot/-/media/file...

Principal Shane O’Neill revealed the human cost of the cuts and the subjects at the institution which could be dramatically scaled back to plug a £35 million deficit.

All University of Dundee executives owe staff answers. We couldn’t agree more! www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/politics/...
