Union members at the under-fire University of Dundee have announced plans to go on strike for five weeks over concerns about job losses.
The University and College Union (UCU) branch will begin the walkout at the start of the next academic year, causing disruption for new and returning students.
Dundee has been at the heart of a political storm after it announced a £35 million deficit in 2024, resulting the resignation of the university’s former vice-chancellor, and accusations of financial mismanagement.
Since then, 815 jobs have been lost, according to the UCU, with the institution recently announcing plans to cut a further 200 roles.
The UCU branch has now announced that it will take 25 days of strike action from 21 September to 23 October.
