‘Angry and exhausted’ Dundee University staff rally against jobs cut to save university Campus unions organised the event where there was palpable anger at the current and former leadership of Dundee University.

We held a rally to mark one-year of the financial crisis at the University of Dundee.

We resolve to continue opposing compulsory lay-offs and a radical reshaping of the institution.

If we fight together we win!

I wish @evegwood.com and everyone associated @quindriepress.com all the very best in whatever comes next. Texas punks the Big Boys would shout "now go start your own band" at the end of every gig. This is the call "Go start your own comic/small press/festival!"

However, I know Eve will continue to do great things. Eve has been super supportive of the Comics teaching at DJCAD and I first met them when they did the Masters there many years ago. They inspired those that came after and will continue to do so in the future.

This is amazing. Even as @evegwood.com is winding down @quindriepress.com they are doing everything they can to give comics creators a leg up. Quindrie has been a foundational rock on which many in the Scottish comics scene have built their houses over the last 5 years. I'm sorry to see it go.

How is the dispute at Dundee University affecting students? Students say they are feeling the effects across studios, classrooms and workshops.

Our students aren’t being heard.

“students aren't told anything at all."

"You really have to dig for all the information - online, on the website, through emails... unless you have the time to sit and dig through emails, you don't know what's going on," she says.

Very strong turnout this morning on the first of our five days strike.

On Friday, in a meeting with the interim Principal, he confirmed his ideology is to cut as many jobs as possible.

Support our action to save jobs and save the University!
