University of Huddersfield redundancies: Yorkshire university staff living in fear as risk of compulsory redundancy looms
As senior leaders ‘squander millions’ on new buildings, staff at the University of Huddersfield are fearing for their livelihoods, anticipating another wave of compulsory redundancies.
Staff members and unions have painted an unfortunate picture of the current goings-on at Huddersfield University. Money saving measures are being enforced across the institution, from staff cuts to buildings being mothballed. At the same time, millions are being poured into new building projects and university bosses are in receipt of hefty salaries.
Previously, the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) reported that another wave of job losses were on the way for those working at the University of Huddersfield for the third time in 12 months. This is in the shape of a Voluntary Severance Scheme (VSS) with staff across all departments of the university being asked to come forward.
