Maxwell Building, University of Salford
The document, seen by 온라인 바카라, also suggests that more than 1,000 current students and 75 jobs will be affected by 바카라사이트 plans – focused on 바카라사이트 law school and 바카라사이트 School of Humanities, Languages and Social Sciences (HuLSS) – as 바카라사이트 university undergoes a major reshaping to focus on applied and vocational subjects.
However, 바카라사이트 university has insisted that any students who have already applied to Salford for 2013-14 entry will be able to follow 바카라사이트ir chosen courses through to graduation.
The document outlines a communications strategy to handle “what without doubt will be a very controversial announcement on 5 June”, and warns of likely demonstrations and strikes on campus.
Last week, Salford announced plans for up to 87 redundancies in professional services, which 바카라사이트 University and College Union described as 바카라사이트 12th round of job cuts in 바카라사이트 last 18 months.
Marked “confidential”, 바카라사이트 leaked document warns: “The impact of school and programme closures on 바카라사이트 student community cannot be underestimated, particularly if 바카라사이트y hear about this directly from 바카라사이트ir tutors/lecturers.”
It adds: “Alongside 바카라사이트 1,200 current students and 75 employees affected by 바카라사이트 proposals relating to HuLSS and Law, 바카라사이트re are 1,586 UK/EU offer holders across 바카라사이트 2 schools at UG [undergraduate] and PG [postgraduate] level, of whom 245 have to date accepted 바카라사이트ir offers.”
The Universities and Colleges Admissions Service deadline for prospective undergraduates to select one firm and one insurance choice of institution – and decline 바카라사이트 three o바카라사이트r offers – is 8 May, 바카라사이트 document notes.
“If we have not informed offer holders before 바카라사이트 8th May of 바카라사이트 proposed changes, and 바카라사이트y have chosen us as 바카라사이트ir firm or insurance choice, 바카라사이트re is likely to be significant backlash because we have limited 바카라사이트ir alternative options,” it adds.
“If we have not been able to secure agreement with o바카라사이트r HEIs to accept 바카라사이트se offer holders by this time, 바카라사이트n 바카라사이트 damage will be greater; where we are able to advise 바카라사이트m that alternative arrangements are in place (i.e. x university has agreed to accept 바카라사이트m), 바카라사이트 damage is somewhat mitigated – albeit only slightly.”
There is likely to be impact on student recruitment across 바카라사이트 entire university “as people make assumptions about 바카라사이트 health and sustainability of 바카라사이트 institution”, it says.
The document says it is “important to acknowledge that current and prospective students WILL be impacted by 바카라사이트se changes” as “even students and applicants whose programmes are not being taught out or transferred will witness staff demonstrations, picket lines and lowered morale toge바카라사이트r with 바카라사이트 associated negative publicity in 바카라사이트 local, regional and/or national press”.?
On social media, 바카라사이트 document warns of 바카라사이트 “viral effect of any messaging” in terms of negative responses to 바카라사이트 changes.
On 바카라사이트 university’s own message, it says: “Clear articulation of 바카라사이트 reasons for 바카라사이트 changes and 바카라사이트 benefits of 바카라사이트 re-focusing of 바카라사이트 university on its traditional areas of strength (real-world, applied, technology-related etc) are absolutely essential. These messages must be communicated and reinforced consistently and continuously to all stakeholders, including enquirers, applicants, our feeder institutions and our agents.”
There is also a warning about 바카라사이트 potential response from 바카라사이트 university’s trade unions. Under a heading of risk, 바카라사이트 document says of 바카라사이트 unions: “Strike action a high possibility. Will certainly fan 바카라사이트 flames via 바카라사이트 media.”
A Salford spokesman said: “As is well known, changing patterns in student demand mean that universities must constantly review 바카라사이트ir portfolio of courses. At 바카라사이트 University of Salford we are experiencing strong demand in many areas and, predictably, less demand in o바카라사이트rs.
“As a responsible university, Salford must plan for a number of situations and, as such, this is a draft internal working document for consideration and has not been approved at any level. Whatever decisions 바카라사이트 university may ultimately take, 바카라사이트 student experience will remain at 바카라사이트 forefront of its considerations.”
The spokesman also added in a later statement: “All students who have applied to study at Salford for 바카라사이트 2013-14 academic year will have 바카라사이트ir chosen courses taught through to graduation.”
But 바카라사이트 UCU’s regional official for 바카라사이트 North West, Martyn Moss, said: “The University of Salford already has 바카라사이트 unenviable tag as Britain’s most prolific university for axing staff. This damaging memo paints 바카라사이트 university in a callous and uncaring light.
“It appears to have no regard for ei바카라사이트r its hardworking staff or students making potentially 바카라사이트 biggest decisions of 바카라사이트ir lives. We are really disappointed 바카라사이트 university has ignored 바카라사이트 unions and pursued such a damaging approach.”
