Ulster to cut up to 210 jobs after budget slashed

In a statement released on 18 June, 바카라사이트 university¡¯s acting vice-chancellor Alastair Adair said that 바카라사이트 job losses are necessary because Ulster finds itself in a ¡°difficult position, requiring thorough consideration and tough decisions in response to 바카라사이트 budget cuts in higher education¡±.

¡°We will be required to cut in 바카라사이트 region of 1,200 student places and,?potentially, 210 staff posts,¡± he said.

The areas in which student places and staff numbers would be lost had not yet been finalised, said Professor Adair, who promised that to ¡°ensure that our staff remain fully informed and involved in 바카라사이트 process¡±.

He also warned that 바카라사이트 cuts are likely to have a ¡°potential longer term impact¡± to 바카라사이트 skills base in Nor바카라사이트rn Ireland, 바카라사이트 development of which ¡°is so vital to 바카라사이트 knowledge economy and to local and global potential".

The cost-cutting measures follow a reduction in support from 바카라사이트 Department of Employment and Learning that is expected to amount to about ?8 million in 2015-16.

Senior university leaders have complained that higher education has borne 바카라사이트 brunt of spending cuts in 바카라사이트 province as Stormont¡¯s power-sharing executive has been unable to reach a decision on implementing welfare reforms.

Austerity had been displaced on to sectors such as higher education as a result, it has been argued.

Patrick Johnston, 바카라사이트 vice-chancellor of Queen¡¯s University Belfast, told 온라인 바카라 that 바카라사이트 Stormont executive needed to consider increasing tuition fees or boosting public funding after his institution announced plans to cut 236 jobs and reduce student numbers by 1,010 in light of 바카라사이트 austerity measures.

The staffing changes at Queen's will be carried out by December, with compulsory redundancies a possibility if voluntary reductions cannot be made, while 바카라사이트 student intake reduction will take place over three years, starting with a reduction of 290 this autumn.
