The Universities and College Union Aberdeen branch has opened a strike ballot following the University of Aberdeen’s proposal to cut modern languages degrees.
The consultation began in late 2023, with university officials proposing the idea to senior university management.
On December 12, the plan was put through in a university court meeting – leading to up to 30 people facing redundancy and “facing a worrying start to the new year”, said the UCU.
A group of members of staff in modern languages told to The PIE News that “all colleagues in modern languages” are at risk of losing their jobs.
