A university facing a £45m budget black hole in three years' time says staff agreeing to leave their posts has saved it more than £6m.
The Norwich-based University of East Anglia (UEA) has warned of compulsory redundancies as it tries to bring its budget under control.
To save money the university offered a voluntary severance scheme.
Those who applied for it have now been told the outcome and were expected to leave in August.
The university said 136 of the 224 members of staff who applied for voluntary severance had been approved and received offers.
The scheme is one of a number of measures aimed at reducing costs at the university, which expects a budget deficit of up to £30m for 2023-24 and £45m in three years.
