200 jobs at risk at University of Plymouth
The organisation says it's operating in a "very financially challenging environment"
Around 200 jobs could be lost at the University of Plymouth.
The organisation says it's operating in a "very financially challenging environment" - and that its seen increases to costs outside of its control.
The Uni says it's doing everything it can to make savings and avoid compulsory redundancies.
In a statement, bosses at the University of Plymouth said: “Along with the rest of the UK’s Higher Education sector, the University of Plymouth is operating in a very financially challenging environment.
"Thanks to careful financial management and planning, Plymouth is well-placed to weather the storm, but we’ve seen increases to costs that are outside of our control combined with a 10% drop in income, so we must act now to cut budgets.
"As things stand, the proposals we’re considering could affect around 200 roles, but this is subject to change as we consult with colleagues and trade unions.
"We are doing everything we can to make savings and avoid compulsory redundancies, whilst protecting the quality of our student experience, which is our number one priority.”
