University of Bedfordshire job cuts will impact students, unions warn

THE University of Bedfordshire’s plan to lay off staff will make life worse for students, unions warned today.
Managers seek to address a predicted £5 million deficit next year, a shortfall caused mainly by a drop in the number of international students and following surpluses over the last five years totalling more than £60m.
These have helped swell university reserves to more than £200m, Unison and UCU say.
