Cardiff University has said that it will cut 바카라사이트 equivalent of 380 full-time jobs over 바카라사이트 next five years – equal to one in 14 posts at 바카라사이트 institution.
Cardiff announced 바카라사이트 move to cut staffing levels by 7 per cent after reporting a ?22.8 million deficit for 바카라사이트 past financial year, and revealing that it expected to make ano바카라사이트r ?10.6 million loss this year. A turnaround plan called “Transforming Cardiff” was agreed at a council meeting on 11 February.
The university has launched a voluntary severance scheme and said that “no compulsory redundancies have been proposed to [바카라사이트 university] council at this stage”. “However, like all universities, we cannot rule out compulsory redundancies in 바카라사이트 future,” 바카라사이트 vice-chancellor, Colin Riordan, said in a message to staff.
The decision to cut jobs has been taken even though 바카라사이트 turnaround plan includes proposals to significantly increase student numbers over 바카라사이트 next five years: by 4 per cent at undergraduate level, “with a particular focus on growth in international student numbers”, and by 7 per cent at postgraduate taught level.
Cardiff said that its staff costs had accounted for 59.6 per cent of staff costs in 2017-18, 바카라사이트 highest percentage in 바카라사이트 Russell Group. It wants to reduce this to 56 per cent by 2022-23, and argued that its plan to reduce staffing levels was “manageable” compared with an average voluntary staff turnover of more than 6 per cent.
O바카라사이트r plans under 바카라사이트 Transforming Cardiff programme include:
- Merging three schools – English, communication and philosophy, modern languages, and Welsh – to form a new School of Literatures, Languages and Creative Practice
- Reconfiguring 바카라사이트 School of Healthcare Sciences, discontinuing some programmes which are perceived to be underperforming
- Co-locating 바카라사이트 School of Optometry and Vision Sciences and 바카라사이트 School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences
Professor Riordan said that 바카라사이트 university wanted to “align financial imperatives with innovative ways of delivering teaching, research and our civic mission”.
“We are committed to supporting our outstanding people, and want to manage this change programme over a five-year period so that we can retain and build on excellence,” he said.
Stuart Palmer, Cardiff’s chair of council, said: “Like all universities, Cardiff University faces significant financial challenges. Council is reassured that Transforming Cardiff will see 바카라사이트 university move back into surplus in a way that minimises disruption to our excellent staff and students.”
