CARDIFF UNIVERSITY today set out proposals to cut 400 jobs and close courses despite warnings of industrial action by UCU union officials.

In a meeting with university leaders ahead of the announcement, UCU Wales demanded alternative action by the institution which is seeking to turn a financial deficit into profit.

The university remained tight-lipped, only saying this was speculation and it wanted to speak to staff and unions first.
