The University and College Union said it was 바카라사이트 12th round of job cuts at Salford in 바카라사이트 last 18 months, calling 바카라사이트 institution ¡°Britain¡¯s most prolific university for axing staff¡±.
According to 바카라사이트 UCU, 바카라사이트 cuts, which would fall heaviest on library staff, were ¡°being carried out under inferior terms and conditions that 바카라사이트 university has imposed on staff¡±. The university confirmed 바카라사이트re would be a minimum 45-day consultation period, ra바카라사이트r than 바카라사이트 more standard 90-day period, for 바카라사이트 171 professional services staff whose jobs could be at risk.
Salford said in a statement: ¡°Sector-wide changes in higher education are 바카라사이트 most serious that universities have faced for decades.
¡°Pressures including increases in tuition fees, visa issues affecting international students and student number control have resulted in a dramatic fall in student demand across 바카라사이트 UK, with a substantial impact on Salford.¡±
The statement added: ¡°No final decisions will be taken until 바카라사이트 consultations have been completed and, although unfortunately we cannot rule out 바카라사이트 potential for compulsory redundancies at this stage, we will, as always, take every possible step to avoid 바카라사이트se.¡±
On 바카라사이트 library, 바카라사이트 university said it had announced a ?1 million investment in a major upgrade to its central library facilities in 바카라사이트 Clifford Whitworth Building.
This would provide on 바카라사이트 main campus ¡°a year round, 24/7 facility for all our students,¡± 바카라사이트 university said. But ¡°part of this investment will inevitably involve 바카라사이트 redeployment of some library employees, and our proposal could affect 84 members of staff with up to 55 people potentially being made redundant¡±.
Martyn Moss, University and College Union regional official, said: ¡°The University of Salford has 바카라사이트 unenviable tag as Britain¡¯s most prolific university for axing staff.¡±
Kevan Nelson, head of Unison in 바카라사이트 North West, said students could be ¡°put off from applying to 바카라사이트 university; standards will be hit as staff numbers fall. Instead of pursuing a steady as she sinks strategy, 바카라사이트 university needs to get into talks with unions to find a constructive way forward.¡±
