Dundee University is preparing for job losses as it faces a substantial deficit of £25 million to £30 million in the upcoming financial year. Principal Prof Iain Gillespie informed staff about the challenging financial situation and emphasized the necessity of staff reductions despite efforts to cut operational costs and impose a recruitment freeze. The Dundee University College Union has expressed outrage at the news, expressing concerns over job security, particularly for those on temporary contracts. The university employs over 3,000 staff, and the impending cuts could significantly impact both employees and students.
