Motion text

Union states that:
Dundee University management's attempt to introduce cuts of £4. 3 million has been met with a massive response of opposition by students, staff and the general public
These cuts are the latest of a range of cuts taking place across higher education, including Glasgow, Strathclyde and Newcastle universities.

Union resolves
To reaffirm its opposition to the proposed cuts and opposition to compulsory redundancies
To re-iterate its concerns over the financial reliability of the University's financial reporting and call for an independent examination of the financial position
To call upon UCU to act upon DUCU's previous call for a national campaign against redundancies and privatisation.
UCU commits itself to encourage and facilitate the balloting of members for strike action to stop job losses and privatisation and to call a national demonstration against privatisation and job losses.
