This site exists to document the consequences of the University of Edinburgh’s budget cuts, restrictions on hiring, and general drive for “financial efficiency.” What are the consequences of this austerity on teaching, learning, research, workload, and beyond?
It is intended for staff at the University of Edinburgh, but students and others are welcome to write ucu(at)ed.ac.uk with thoughts.

Share your experience with austerity: what is being lost? How is your work changing? How is it affecting teaching & students, research & impact, and your workload?
