The Scottish education secretary has said that further job cuts planned at the University of Dundee are “extremely disappointing”.
Another 190 roles are set to go, the beleaguered university confirmed on 16 June, as part of its latest plans to shave another £20 million from its costs.
This comes on top of 675 roles that have already been lost since August 2024, after Dundee reported a £35 million deficit.
In a letter to all staff, Nigel Seaton, interim principal and vice-chancellor, said “we still have some way to go to become financially sustainable”.
“We have made progress in recurring non-staff spending, and this has already been substantially reduced. We will make further cuts in this area, but there is a limit to how much further we can go, so the greater part of the additional savings will have to come from staff costs,” Seaton writes.
