Mm yet they have invested millions into all the student new builds popping up..
Right, time for us to fund them to the tune of €20m, in our ongoing policy of slowly purchasing Northern Ireland back.
There will of course be a *few* small tweaks to the curriculum, including teaching *actual* Irish history, a new course on modern Irish hiphop, and mandatory class trips west of the Bann for those who’ve never set foot over there.
It was Cardiff University last week . The tide is going out rapidly.
Ruth Jones MP, Chair of the Welsh Affairs Committee, compared the job cuts to a “canary in a coalmine” for the severe financial pressures facing universities across the UK.

>Cardiff University has confirmed plans to cut 400 full-time jobs amid a funding shortfall.
>The cost-cutting proposals could also involve course closures, as well as department mergers, with nursing, music and modern languages among the subjects facing cuts.
>The Cardiff University and College Union (UCU) called the measures “cruel and unnecessary” and said it would fight plans for compulsory redundancies.
>The university said it would only make compulsory redundancies “if absolutely necessary”.
