In 50 days time our members will be taking 5 weeks of strike action. We call for the redundancy process to be stopped! Executives want 200 jobs to go (187FTE). Due to resignations and retirements, and non-staff savings, they are 35FTE from their staffing target. Stop this cruel, flawed process.

Thanks to Students Against Cuts and Generator Projects for creating and hosting this exhibition. This is what you’ll lose - features submissions from Art and Philosophy students, graduates and staff at the University of Dundee. Open 12-5pm now until 5/8/2026.

Please sign this petition against mass redundancies at the University of Exeter, affecting a large number of posts in the Humanities and Social Sciences. These cuts are unnecessary and unjustified. Sign to support alternative solutions: www.change.org/p/stop-redun... #ucu #solidarity

A really important article on how the current proposals for cuts at the University of Dundee are a threat to life. www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/politics/...

EXCLUSIVE: Ex-Dundee University student president quits governing body in protest

Tánaiste Custance told The Courier he was “disgusted” by proposals to cut key services which support the wellbeing of students.

“DUCU believes that this goes against the fair work principles that all universities sign up in order to receive funding.” Dr Ian Ellis, DUCU Co-President

“We have for six weeks now requested full financial data, we have still not received this. “Data on students numbers and projections has not been supplied. “Equality impact assessments are incomplete and with no mitigations. Stress risk assessments inadequate. www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/politics/...

EXCLUSIVE: Dundee University accused of keeping staff in dark over financial data behind job cuts

The institution disagrees with the claims made by a leading Dundee University trade union.

When will it be enough evidence for the Scottish Government to acknowledge and stop the Scottish HE sector being run and regulated into a managed decline? @thesnpmedia.bsky.social @snp.org @johnswinney.bsky.social @educationscotland.bsky.social @benmacpherson.bsky.social

@scottishgov.bsky.social @johnswinney.bsky.social, the SFC's own board minutes includes evidence that the SFC has waived through the University of Dundee's Strategy To Recovery despite the university not meeting the Conditions of Grant. Can you stope the redundancy process at Dundee NOW?

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/

This is so sad. The University should have reached out to parents before the potential decision to close the Botanic Garden went public.
