Lecturers who are members of UCU at Liverpool Hope University have today voted overwhelmingly in favour of strike action in their ongoing row with the institution over job losses and how the institution is responding to potential cuts in funding.
UCU Scotland has questioned the wisdom of the University of Stirling's decision to effectively shut the only aquaculture institute in Scotland. The university wants to get rid of up to 36 staff by June 2011, which will leave its institute of aquaculture with a skeleton staff and facing likely closure. UCU argues that the institute meets Scottish government priorities through projects that range from feeding the rural poor in Africa to supporting the multibillion dollar commercial fish farming sector.
