Staff facing another round of redundancies at the University of Huddersfield have accused senior management of attempting to circumvent consultation by unveiling the cuts at the start of the summer holidays.
The University and College Union (UCU) said 105 Huddersfield employees have been put at risk of redundancy, with 50 expected to lose their jobs by the end of September.
Many of those impacted are away currently and the union said the university was “cynically” attempting to rush through the restructure.
It would be the fifth round of redundancies in the past four years, UCU said, and the third year in a row that the School of Arts and Humanities has been downsized.
