PLANS by the University of Sussex to make a lecturer redundant despite advertising a new permanent post that includes all of his current duties were condemned by the University and College Union (UCU) yesterday.
Philosophy lecturer James Furner has been employed at the institution near Brighton on consecutive fixed-term part-time contracts for two years, but earlier this week the university wrote to him to say that his employment will end on August 31, according to the union.
