- The University of Exeter plans to cut about 150 staff roles.
- Staff affected have been informed; cuts aim to be achieved through voluntary measures.
- Cuts are due to rising costs, declining tuition fee income, underfunded research, and reduced international student demand.
- The University College Union (EUCU) condemns the plan, fearing over 500 staff (14% of academic staff) at risk.
- Proposed cuts are disproportionately concentrated in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (HASS).
