## Resource

Edinburgh University is slashing its postgraduate offerings to save $140 million, shutting five courses and phasing out eight more—threatening up to 1,400 jobs as staff unions accuse leadership of gutting the institution for profit, even though it’s reportedly profitable. Medical school leaders say changes reflect evolving education needs, but the union’s marking boycott and fierce protests show tensions are boiling over with no resolution in sight.
