Scottish universities concerned about no deal Brexit
MANY universities in Scotland are “extremely” concerned about the impact of a no deal Brexit, according to a new Universities UK report.
The industry advocacy group’s research found that half of 10 surveyed universities have experienced current or potential staff leaving for other work abroad because of the prospect.
The same number have said that the prospect of a no-deal Brexit has had a negative impact on staff recruitment. And 60 per cent are encouraging their EU workers to apply for settled status.
