Summary
Edinburgh University is facing major upheaval as it prepares to slash its budget by $140 million annually, targeting its largest college — Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences — which employs over 5,000 people. With potential closures looming and up to 1,400 jobs at risk, tensions are rising between management and staff. Recent cuts already hit the medical school, canceling offers for dozens of students. The union argues the university is actually profitable and these moves are purely about profit, not necessity. Academic senators are blocked from reviewing key documents, and consultations for phase two — including program changes and closures — will begin this summer, with implementation possibly starting in November.
