Strike called over plans to cut 160 staff in all – including 22 in science – as part of cost-cutting measures
The University of East Anglia (UEA) has proposed cutting over 160 full-time staff, including 22 from the faculty of science, in an effort to claw back £11 million and meet continued budget shortfalls.
The proposed cuts, which follow UEA targeting over 100 staff for voluntary redundancy in 2023 because of a projected £30 million deficit, has been met with anger by university staff, the majority of which have voted in favour of strike action.
