Teaching budgets slashed at Scotland's universities
University graduates, October 12, 2011
A NEAR £30 million cut to teaching and pensions budgets is a “slap in the face” for Scottish universities, says the UCU.
In what the Scottish Funding Council’s chief executive Karen Watt called a “particularly challenging funding round,” £4.8m in pension funding and £28.5m in teaching budgets will be slashed.
The decision was met with frustration by university management and workers alike.
