End unnecessary redundancies at Newcastle University Can you spare a minute to help this campaign?

Our university is trying to save about £3.8M per year from their outgoings, and have decided that, even though this is only 0.5% of annual turnover, they need to fire academics, rather than cut down on major infrastructure plans. Anything you can do to support is much appreciated.
