· 3 pulledWe, the Exeter University and College Union, condemn the announcement by the University of Exeter of a sweeping programme of job cuts that places well over 500 staff - 14% of all academic staff - at risk of compulsory redundancy in the run-up to Christmas.
These proposals represent both a stunning failure of leadership on the part of the university's senior management and governance, and a reckless attack on an institution that is critical to the Westcountry's regional economy.
The university has failed to make a convincing case that this programme of cuts is necessary, based on a sound financial analysis.
