What Staff Who Have Been Through “EASE” Say

  • “Be aware: no department is safe. All were treated the same, regardless of size, workload, or student demand.”

  • “The programme seems to be advancing at pace, with immediate implications for local resourcing.  Within faculties, different departments are in different financial positions owing to emerging student numbers. EASE, and the sharing of services, is making it a lot easier for the university to cut service provision – including to those departments that have hugely overshot their targets. My own department has overshot UG and PGT, but hardly an hour goes by without another email detailing another service or budget cut, the latter often relating to ‘marcomms’ now we’ve lost comms autonomy.”
