flag Lecturers at four Scottish universities are striking over job cuts due to financial pressures, with more strikes planned.

flag Lecturers at four Scottish universities—Aberdeen, Dundee, Heriot-Watt, and Strathclyde—are striking over job cuts, with walkouts planned for Tuesday and Wednesday. flag Staff, represented by the UCU union, are protesting threats of compulsory redundancies amid financial strain from years of government underfunding, declining international student numbers, and rising operational costs. flag While universities acknowledge challenges and say they are minimizing disruption, union leaders say management has refused to rule out layoffs and that recent reviews offer no meaningful relief. flag Further strikes are expected later in March.
